[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is why I am more interested in reading your cover letter. It probably hasn't been reviewed, buffed and polished by a professor. I am looking for clear persuasive writing. [b] If you cannot successfully advocate on behalf of yourself, why should I let you try to advocate on behalf of my client.[/b] While some people will reject you for a typo, I will not. What I will reject you for is a poorly organized cover letter. At its core, a motion (or memorandum in support thereof) should clearly convey the following points: what you want, why the court can give it to you, and why the court should give it to you. Same general concept applies to you cover letter. You want a job practice in x area of the law, my firm has a practice group for that area of law, and the reason we should hire you is because? [/quote] Beautifully said. Too many people blow off the cover letter or use the same generic one for every job.[/quote]
