3+ Legal Assistant No Experience Cover Letter Examples

Dear hiring manager,

I’m very excited to express my interest in the legal assistant position I found advertised on your website. As a recent graduate of The University of Dallas’ Legal Studies bachelor program, I believe that I’d be an asset to the firm. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and work to support the team however possible!

During my education experience, I gained a reputation for my excellent work ethic and organizational skills. In fact, during exam season I ran a successful side business creating and distributing study guides. I received excellent feedback from my peers and professors alike for my guides, and I worked hard to ensure I was being helpful while also maintaining a 3.8 GPA. This is the kind of hard work and initiative that I would bring to the firm – I believe there’s no such thing as a small job, and it gives me great satisfaction to complete “the little things” perfectly.

I have experience in organizing calendars and documents, as secretary of the University of Dallas’ law society between 2020 and 2021. I believe this experience perfectly prepared me for a career as a legal assistant. Most of my responsibilities were to organize the society’s calendar, ensuring we always had a place to meet and proper facilities, as well as keeping our roster organized. While I don’t have experience working as a legal assistant, I have plenty of experience assisting future attorneys!

Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Please find my resume attached.

Best wishes,

Carla Erroll

Dear hiring manager,

I’m pleased to put myself forward for the legal assistant position at Mcdonough and Shaw, which I found advertised on your website. As a recent legal studies graduate, I know that I have the required knowledge for this position, but I also believe I have a particular zest for this work that helps set me apart from others.I believe that my education and drive to succeed will allow me to serve the firm effectively and efficiently.

Last month, I graduated from Milwaukee Area Technical College with an Associate’s degree in Legal Studies, meaning I have specific training and education in both the legal system and the exact duties of this position. Having graduated with a 3.5 GPA, I believe I’ve been able to demonstrate my aptitude for this field, and I’m excited to bring my skills and energy to Mcdonough and Shaw.

During my time at MATC, I was a library volunteer, which only further prepared me for my work as a legal assistant. My duties as a library assistant overlap significantly with the work I’d be doing as a legal assistant, such as filing documents, organizing schedules, and drafting and proofreading documents. I loved this work, and was especially thrilled when I had the opportunity to lead the volunteer team during my final semester at MATC. I know that, given the chance to work at Mcdonough and Shaw, I’d bring the same skill and enthusiasm to succeed.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Please find my resume attached, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Robert Flynn
