[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 211420, member: 36740"] This is a really good question. In my opinion, the main thing to focus on when demonstrating interest in a law firm, whether in an application or an interview, is the work. At the end of the day, this is what you will be doing, so it makes sense to concentrate on the firm’s practices, clients, advisory scope, and explain why that appeals to you. The more passionate you are about a specific practice area, the more naturally enthusiastic you will come across. You will also know more about what to say and show that you have properly researched the profession and know it is the right fit for you. Candidates sometimes think they need to have worked in a particular area to show interest, but that is not the case. Often, it is more about how well you understand the area and the steps you have taken to explore it, such as speaking to people who work in the field. Being specific about your motivations and how you have developed them will always leave a strong impression.
