I would divide the question equally into "why law" and "why this firm", as that would tackle the "solicitor" part and the "firm" part of this motivational question. This question kind of asks for a blend of the two, so it really wants you to think about practicing law at that firm - what kind of differences might you expect from other firms, do you appreciate those differences and how do those differences motivate you in your path to becoming a solicitor.For example, looking at whether a firm is American, International or National might be a good place to start. Dividing your Shearman & Sterling from your Herbert Smith from your Shoosmiths. We all want to be lawyers but do we all want to be the same type of lawyer? I think the question asks for you to articulate some of that. Having said that, though, don't feel like you need to explicitly compare and contrast other firms against your chosen firm. That eats into your word-count.Apologies if this is a bit wishy-washy. It's slightly difficult to apply when I don't have a firm to relate it to!</blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
