2L Summer Associate Applications

Post by puhcauliflower » Sat Jun 05, 2021 1:28 am

Hi all,

When applying directly to firms and they specify that they only require a resume and transcript to apply, would you recommend also sending in a cover letter or completely refraining from doing so since they only specified resume and transcript?

Thanks

If the phrasing is something like "please send resume and transcript," I would just send those. If cover letters are expressly noted as optional, I would send one.
