[QUOTE="aditik, post: 1295, member: 300"] Hey guys! So recently, I saw a post by Sandrou on how he would approach the 'why commercial law?' question. Thank you so much for that! However, us non-law students might have a trickier time developing an answer for this question, since we did not academically study law, or have any prior exposure to contract/commercial law. So I wanted to start a thread where any non-law applicants or future trainees approached this question! Jaysen had some great tips in the TC app guide form, where we could, for example, talk about why we chose commercial law over management consulting, banking or academia. Do any other non-law applicants have any advice or examples for what worked for them? I am guessing legal work experience and shadowing is useful to include. The trouble is, I feel like some of the aspects of this work that I am mentioning (e.g. strategic thinking, problem-solving, attention to detail, organisation, interpersonal skills, teamwork etc) could be applied to other professions as well (banking, consulting etc). Any tips on how I could make this unique/exclusive to the legal profession? Thanks guys! [/QUOTE]
