[QUOTE="User138756, post: 215851, member: 41814"] Hi Katekrab! I definitely agree with Jaysen. GR are most definitely interested in getting to know you as a person and your interests outside of law! Academic interests are absolutely a fair response if this is the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the question. As Jaysen has said, I would avoid writing about anything that you think the firm 'wants to hear', which is often a trap people fall into. It is normally fairly obvious to the person reading your application when this is the case. They are much more interested in seeing both your personality and the quality of your writing. The best answers to these questions are simply well-written ones that explain your interest in the topic - the topic itself is much less relevant. In this case, your angle sounds great. Best of luck!
