Just to add to [USER=36740]@Amma Usman[/USER]'s great response, I think you should aim to write 2-3 paragraphs using this easy to follow structure:

1. Explain the story of a selected extracurricular/prize/achievement/etc using the usual STAR structure. To the extent possible, quantify your achievement at the 'Results' stage.
2. Explain how the selected extracurricular/prize/achievement/etc demonstrates a skill/attribute/etc.
3. Explain how that skill/attribute is relevant for the work of a trainee in commercial law, and if you can make particular reference to the tasks and responsibilities trainees are usually working on.
4. To the extent possible, explain how that skill is particularly useful at a firm like Latham. Try to make links to any of the firm's unique selling points and main practice area strengths (PE, banking & finance, capital markets, corporate M&A).
