Vacation scheme application - Writing about a case

[W5690]

Hello,

Could you please let me know where, obviously apart from law firms' websites, I could find information about cases law firms have been involved in (legal press, etc) or should I focus on law firms' websites exclusively? I am asking about this as there is a question within an application for a vacation scheme that requires applicants to write about a case X (law firm) has been involved in, and to address why that case is of interest to applicants. I understand that I should choose a case I am genuinely interested in, but I am new to such an application and I am pretty lost. Therefore, I would be truly grateful for any advice/guidance on how to tackle that question.

Also, I was wondering whether recent cases might be more 'appropriate' than older ones - what are your thoughts on this?

Many thanks.

Recent cases are better. The news/ articles section of the website is the best place to start, but legal500/ Chambers will have a list of notable cases / deals that the firm chooses to highlight, although some of these can be older.

The most important part is to explain WHY you found it interesting, what particularly was it about that case, and why do you relate to it.

@AlexJ That is very helpful, many thanks!
