'Tell us about something - anything - that excites and inspires you.'

@Jessica Booker @axelbeugre
Does this literally mean I can talk about anything or should I link this back to the firm/law in some way?
Also, if I can talk about anything, should I pick something that is 'academic'? For example, I've seen people on this forum talk about history etc whilst I'd rather talk about music/sports.

You can talk about anything you want and it does not have to relate to law firms or the legal sector at all. Choose something you are interested in and are passionate about. I know someone that talked about Taylor Swift and the firm loved it so everything is fine! If you are passionate about it even better as you will be excited to talk about it.

I completely agree with @axelbeugre ’s response.

It doesn’t have to be legal and it doesn’t have to be academic. Just pick something that truly meets the “excites and inspires” criteria.
