Writing a response to Paul, Weiss' open day "Please use this space to explain why you would like to attend the Paul, Weiss Open Day"

Are they expecting a 'why Paul, Weiss' - esque response (my typical response would be research practice areas, mention a deal etc., or other unique things which I find attractive about them) or are they expecting something different.
With open days it is more about what you want to learn more about at the open day, rather than what you already know. You need to demonstrate there are elements you are going to gain from attending. You can still demonstrate some research but try to link it more to what you’d hope to learn more about.
