Dear Sir/Madam I have obtained my Bachelor of Laws degree (LLB) at the University of South Africa (cum laude) with a sound academic record, including a score of 90% in Law of Delict as well as a score of 92% in the Medical Law exam and distinctions in 33 out of 40 subjects that I have completed. I am admitted as an Attorney of the High Court of South Africa. I have recently concluded my articles of clerkship at Legal Aid South Africa where I had the opportunity to gain invaluable exposure into the general practice of a law clinic. I have come to see that the power of the law, strong in everyone's lives, has particular importance for underrepresented people in challenging situations. They rely heavily on the legal process to protect their rights, secure the benefits they are entitled to, and fundamentally improve their quality of life. This experience has provided me with the opportunity to witness and understand the critical role that legal practitioners play in ensuring justice for all parties in need of representation. Throughout my course I have undertaken various full time employments to develop professional skills and gain insight into the corporate environment. Working while studying part time has illustrated discipline, dedication and diligence in achieving my goals. My career goal is to gain insightful and meaningful experience. I would appreciate the opportunity to join an esteemed and reputable firm such as yours. I have enclosed a resume highlighting my education and work experience and would be delighted at the chance to interview with you for the above position. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
