I understand that you will not be participating in Stanford’s OCI so I wanted to reach out to you directly. I am very excited about your firm as I am from Dallas, am currently working in Dallas my 1L summer job and plan to return to Dallas after law school graduation to practice law.  \nI have many interests in the law and am seeking a law firm that will enable me to explore different practice areas this summer. I understand your firm has an excellent rotation system for summer associates to expose the students to a variety of legal issues. I recently spoke with Joe Lawyer, an SLS alum and member of your litigation department who described your firm’s white collar criminal defense practice, which intrigued me.  \nMy background has provided me with many skills useful to your firm’s practice of law.  \nAt the University of Texas, I majored in math and journalism, areas requiring strong analytical and writing skills. After my first year of law school, I researched legislation and conducted statistical analysis for Governor Jones’ office and drafted numerous legal memoranda relating to habeas corpus issues for the Texas Death Penalty Resource Center. I am also strengthening my communication and client relations skills by participating in the Community Law Clinic here at SLS.  \nMy resume is attached. I will be in Dallas until August 10th and would love the opportunity to speak with you or others about a summer associate position. Thank you for your consideration.  \nSincerely,  \nThomas Texan  \nSAMPLE COVER LETTER-LAW FIRM  \nMr. Lawrence Legal  \nHiring Partner  \nLegal, Law & Courts, LLP  \n101 Main St.  \nSan Francisco, CA 22334  \nDear Mr. Legal,  \nI am a second year law student at Stanford Law School, interested in a summer associate position with your firm. I recently read about your firm and its successful conclusion to your class action suit against the City and County of San Francisco. I have practical work experience in employment law and a passion for employment discrimination cases, in particular. I was born and raised in Northern California and am eager to start my legal career in San Francisco.  \nAfter researching and writing numerous papers regarding unique issues for my employment law class, I put my education to practical use as a summer intern with the Employment Law Center. I drafted an appellate brief on the American with Disabilities Act that was argued and held in our favor. My class work, coupled with a successful summer at the Employment Law Center, resulted in a professor offering me a research assistant position for a discrimination suit he is handling. The education, skills and experience that I have gained in employment law in general, and ADA and discrimination law in particular, make me a good fit for your firm.  \nSince I am local, I am available to meet with you at your convenience. I have attached my resume and hope to meet you soon to further discuss my qualifications.  \nSincerely,  \nSally Star  \nSAMPLE COVER LETTER-LAW FIRM  \n[Recruiting Manager]  \nDear   \nI am a first year at Stanford Law School and am interested in summer employment with Doolittle & Loafmore.
