Dear Mr.S.Robin,

I will graduate from the University of National College of Law in April of 2006, and would like to be considered for the clerkship position that opens June 1, 2007.

I serve as one of three Articles Editors on the National Law Review. Through my work on the Review, I have developed my ability to analyze legal issues and present the results of my analysis clearly. My enclosed comment, which discusses the status of the at-will employment doctrine in Oklahoma in light of the implied contract exception, was published last year. Moreover, the Journal provided an invaluable opportunity to advance my interest in legal scholarship, particularly because of the exposure it has given me to a wide variety of novel issues. One such issue with which I have recently become familiar is the controversy over the constitutionality of legislation establishing a uniform statute of limitations for private actions implied under section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Academically, I rank in the top 14% of my class. Additionally, I participate in numerous extracurricular activities both inside and outside the law school, including membership as a student-pupil in the Smith D. Wright Chapter of the American Inns of Court. I have also worked as a research assistant in the preparation of a law review article written by William,one of my professors.

As an undergraduate, I attended Duke University, graduating in May 2001. I majored in Public Policy Studies, a combination of political science, history, economics, and several other disciplines. Most of the courses offered in the major involved a heavy writing component and gave me experience in examining and solving problems.

I am available at your convenience for an interview. I may be contacted at home, (123) 532-0543, or at the Review, (123) 532-3345. Thank you for your consideration.

Respectfully,
D.Jorge
