[QUOTE="SRT, post: 216060, member: 30514"] Hi there, Great question - you can definitely use the same structure or follow a 'PEE' (Point, explanation, evidence) kind of structure. You can start broad, and mention what draws you to law in general (e.g. analysing complex problem, helping clients achieve outcomes, etc..). However, you should definitely [U]focus[/U] on commercial law if you're applying to a commercial law firm, and your reasons to join might be different than just for law. I think you should definitely include the major features of a career in commercial law and how it appeals to you. For example, frequent client interactions, working on major cross-jurisdictional transactions and deals, fast-paced nature of the work, mixing law and business... For each point you make, definitely mention how it suits your interests and your strengths. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
