[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 183441, member: 36777"] While I think it would have been ideal to also provide a short narrative with an explanation as to what you learnt from some of these events, I definitely agree with [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] that this is not really an issue, as the firm does not ask for it directly. At most, if you had done a great job in describing what you learnt in those events and how it motivated your choice to pursue a career in commercial law at White & Case, you could have scored a couple of brownie points. Nonetheless, it is very unlikely that this will have ever been a deciding factor regarding the progression of your application. A great 'firm events' section answer will never make up for a poor cover letter/other application for answers. However, if you've written great cover letter/application form answers, it is highly unlikely any firm will care about the firm events section. I would say this is especially the case for White & Case, as the firm gives you a lot of space (both in the cover letter and in the other questions) to discuss you journey, motivations, and competencies. If you have done a sufficiently good job writing about them there, it is very unlikely the firm will take issue with the fact that you didn't further discuss the same things in the 'firm events' section. Long story short, I think the impact of this (if there is to be any) will be minimal and that you should therefore try not to worry about it too much :)! [/QUOTE]
