Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we have ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones with us to talk about preparing a great writing sample, which you might need when applying for a law job, a clerkship, or an internship/externship.

In this episode we discuss:

When do you need a writing sample?
What makes a good writing sample, and mistakes to avoid making
Getting writing samples from your academic work or your job
Is it okay to get help to make your writing sample better?
What if you can't come up with anything?
