[QUOTE="Hazal, post: 3080, member: 694"] I think those are good reasons but just need supplementing with real life experiences that you've had to distinguish from similar work such as banking and consulting. I.e. attending open days, talking to lawyers at networking sessions, specific deals that excited you, all of which help you reiterate your reasons. For example, one reason I mention is my attraction to fast-paced deals with high, financial stakes (and sometimes mention I like deals that make headlines), then reference work the specific law firm have worked on to tailor it to them a little. Or, look at their grad brochure/website and see deals that trainees mention as memorable and see how they voice their motivation for their work. They don't have to be super specific, but anything you can do to tailor the firm or make it real, is useful. [/QUOTE]
