Message: <blockquote data-quote="Amma Usman" data-source="post: 189611" data-attributes="member: 36740">Hey [USER=33996]@legal18[/USER] , this is a good draft. I believe you could make a few tweaks to make it even stronger. As [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] had pointed out, your answer should focus on your motivations more. You seem to sway more into the realm of why you, rather than why commercial law. I understand how easy it is to mix up the two application questions, especially when you are trying to incorporate any past experiences to demonstrate an interest in the profession. You will need to be very specific on why the business and legal aspects appeals to you. Then, you could include an example academic task or work experience you did which made you realise this. At this point, you should ideally not include any skills you gained as this will shift the focus away from what the actual question is asking. First, focus on the specifics of your exposure to business law. If you are keen on weaving any why you in this part of the answer, you could include any examples of how you thrived in a commercial environment based on the experience you already gave. For example,’ feedback from your manager on your ability to do X’ which made you realise you had the potential to succeed in commercial law. This should only be included in brief at the end though, as you wouldn’t want your answer to go off on any tangents. For more on this, I’ve made a thread which I’ve linked below;[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/why-commercial-law-investigating-your-%E2%80%98why%E2%80%99.9113/[/URL]Happy to review the next draft.</blockquote>
