Dear Mr. Smith,
I am a second year student at The John Marshall Law School and am interested in
obtaining a position as a summer associate with Dorsey & Whitney for the summer of
2004. As a Twin Cities native, I intend to return to Minneapolis upon graduation from
law school.
I am interested in Dorsey & Whitney because of its outstanding reputation and well-
crafted summer associate program. The opportunity to rotate through different
practice groups, gain hands-on experience and work on pro bono cases is intriguing.
Additionally, your firm's commitment to Continued Legal Education is a mark of
distinction.
My research shows that Dorsey & Whitney seeks summer associates with strong
academic and professional performance, participationin extracurricular activities and
work experience. I exhibit such qualities. As a law clerk, I analyzed legal issues in
business litigation, gained familiarity with the courts and refined my legal writing
skills. I will further sharpen my writing skills by participating in The John Marshall
Law Review in the fall and spring semesters. In my prior advertising and marketing
career, I developed the relevant skills of teamwork, client relations, and organization.
I genuinely enjoy the study and application of law and appreciate the rewards of hard
work. I also maintain a similar commitment to personal and social growth. I would
contribute the same hard work, dedication and enthusiasm to Dorsey & Whitney.
I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my experience and qualifications for
your summer associate program. I have enclosed my resume for your review. I will
be in Minneapolis from September 17 to September 19 and would welcome the
opportunity to meet with you at that time. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Richard Anderson.
Enclosure
