Dear Hiring Manager,

I am excited to apply for the Summer Associate position at your esteemed firm. I am eager to use my legal education and analytical skills, and to contribute my passion for environmental law to your celebrated work.

During law school, I have honed my legal research and writing abilities through active participation in the Environmental Law Society. For instance, in my Legal Writing course, I drafted a memo analyzing recent environmental legislation, which enhanced my understanding of regulatory frameworks and reinforced my ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines.

My internship at a legal advocacy organization also provided me with practical insights into the legal field. I had the opportunity to assist in drafting pleadings for environmental litigation, which allowed me to develop a nuanced understanding of litigation strategies in environmental law. My ability to conduct thorough legal research was greatly enhanced through this hands-on experience.

I am particularly drawn to your firm because of its reputation for handling complex environmental cases. I am impressed by your commitment to environmental advocacy, and I am eager to contribute to such a dynamic and respected team.

Enclosed with this letter is my resume, which provides additional details about my background and qualifications. I am excited about the opportunity to discuss how my experiences and skills align with the needs of your firm. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your team and further discussing how I can be an asset.

Sincerely,
