Some firms at OCI are requesting that we bring a cover letter to OCI, but does anyone know if you still follow the format of putting the address, or can you just start of with : "Dear Mr. Hiring Partner,"
Thanks for any help

I think it would odd, by maybe it's just me, to not have at the top:
HEADER (which matches your resume/references/write sample) Name + Address + Email + Telephone
Month Day, Year
Mr./Ms. Recruiter
Firm Name
Street Addredd
City, State Zip
Dear Mr./Ms. Recruiter,
Words....
Or like so:

I don't do it anymore. It's so on the margins of what is important that I don't think it really matters. And it's more text to change when you're sending apps out en masse.

This is true. Would save me a CRAP LOAD of time.

I did it during 1L/2L. This summer I said fuck it and decided not to do it anymore. Join the revolution bb.

I think I'll start... I could start sending out like 20 more apps a day if I could ignore addresses. Why the fuck not? They are all going to reject me anyway.
