Cover letter approach
Posted: Tue Aug 04, 2015 6:31 pm
Most threads on TLS about cover letters advise a straightforward short summary of credentials/coursework/experience with very little "selling."
My OCS recommends making a few points about why you're qualified, using your credentials and experience to "sell" those points. I.e., doing doc review at Cravath enhanced my attention to detail and gave me insight into the litigation process. Based on the cover letter samples at Boalt and HLS, it looks like other schools go this route as well.
Which is the better approach?
