Dear [Mr./Mrs./Ms./Mx.] [Hiring Manager’s Name],

I am writing to apply for the entry-level Legal Assistant position at Peachtree Law Firm, as advertised on your website. As a recent graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Legal Studies from Georgia State University, I am eager to begin my career in the legal field and contribute to your firm’s reputation for excellence in client service.

During my studies, I maintained a 3.8 GPA and completed coursework in legal research, legal writing, and civil litigation procedures. These classes honed my analytical skills and familiarized me with legal terminology and documents.

I completed a semester-long internship at the Atlanta Legal Aid Society, where I assisted attorneys in case preparation, document organization, and client communication. This experience gave me valuable insights into the day-to-day operations of a legal office and reinforced my passion for the legal profession.

As the president of the Pre-Law Society at Georgia State, I developed strong leadership and organizational skills. I coordinated guest speaker events, managed club finances, and mentored fellow students, which enhanced my ability to multitask and communicate effectively.

I am particularly drawn to Peachtree Law Firm because of your reputation for handling complex corporate litigation cases and your commitment to pro bono work. Your firm’s dedication to both high-stakes corporate matters and community service aligns perfectly with my professional aspirations and personal values.

I am excited about the opportunity to begin my legal career at Peachtree Law Firm and to learn from your experienced team of attorneys and legal professionals. I am confident that my academic background, coupled with my enthusiasm and strong work ethic, will allow me to quickly become a valuable asset to your firm.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can contribute to the continued success of Peachtree Law Firm.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
