[quote=Anonymous]Pick something relatively short (3 to 8 pages, IMO, but I'm not in-house) that demonstrates your persuasive writing, including analysis and application of case law if that's relevant. Although it takes a good writer to lay out facts clearly and concisely, that alone is not enough for a writing sample; neither is the kind of "boilerplate" you sometimes see at the start and end of motions. If you've got a long document, excerpt the part that showcases your writing and put it under a cover paragraph/page explaining the context. Similarly, if you've got an email that meets the above, I would drop the text into a Word document under explanatory cover. Remember, also, that if it's not a public document or something written for the same place you are applying, you will need to remove client names and probably change some facts. That's another argument for an excerpt.[/quote]
