[QUOTE="KLaw125, post: 2297, member: 358"] Hi P.Dybala, I recently completed the Travers Smith Vacation Scheme and had a similar situation to you. I have spoken with Graduate Recruitment regarding mitigating circumstances. I think you should save your explanation for the "Contextual Information" Section of the application. Prioritise selling yourself in the cover letter. The main aim is demonstrate your interest in the firm and law, so focus on what you can offer as an future lawyer. Regarding structure, I would stick to the standard format of cover letters. This would be: [LIST] [*]Short introduction of who you are and what you're applying for [*]Why commercial law [*]Why Travers Smith [*]Why you: This tends to be your extra-circular activity (try to focus on an individual one, providing more detail of your responsibilities) [*]Short conclusion: For instance "Thank you for reading my application" [/LIST] Hope this helps :) [/QUOTE]
