As an associate, you will likely be assigned legal memos to write on various questions that a partner may have. You should have been taught the general format in your legal writing course. You may have completed memos if you worked an internship or had other work experience before or during law school. Partners will use your memos to formulate their course of action on a particular issue. They will use your research and analysis to draft motions, petitions, or client communications. Use this opportunity to showcase your writing skills by explaining how you approach these assignments and that you understand how important they can be to partners.

"Yes, I not only wrote various memos in my legal writing course during law school, but I also wrote many during my time as a summer associate at ABC Firm. I love research and writing and I find the IRAC style of writing very helpful. I have been assigned some questions to research that do not have a simple yes or no answer. The traditional legal memo provides a structure that helps organize the information in a way that everyone expects.
The feedback at ABC Firm was that my writing was very straightforward and informative. I take pride in being able to organize complex information. I'm happy to share some writing samples if it would be helpful for you to see my work."
