I know 3L OCI is a joke and many of you have recommended to email directly to firms. Therefore I was wondering what your thoughts are on whether to include a cover letter or to place the "cover letter" in the actual body of email.

Some people argue to include a cover letter because the email should be short and sweet. Others argue that the email should include (briefly) why the recruiter should even open the attachments. Plus, Biglaw usually dont read cover letters.
