[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 197836, member: 36740"] In situations like this, I typically included a sort of thesis statement at the start. I would divide it into roughly two paragraphs. One on why CL, the other on why SH. I would start the paragraph with something like “I am drawn to a career in commercial law for multiple reason but will focus on: X, Y, Z. In the next paragraph, I would write something like I am drawn to SH for mainly X reasons: X, Y, Z. Then, I will take each of the three components in turn and address them appropriately, backed up with real life examples. Doing this, even in a short sentence at the start, helps signpost your reader and makes everything flow, especially given such a long word count. With regards the last bit of your question, I don’t see a need to include a conclusion in this case. [/QUOTE]
