Hey guys,

Just a new member here.

I have to to join an organisation which helps law students get training contracts etc as you all know there are a few out there.

I have to write an answer to Why do I genuinely want a Training contract?


I am really confused - is this asking me why I want to be a solictor? Or is it asking me why I am choosing a career in commerical law?

Any opinions on this please be so helpful.

I assume you're applying to commercial law firms? It might be better to write about why commercial law just so your answer is a bit more specific?
