The scope of the law necessarily makes it complex, and complexity has created the need for specialists, namely lawyers. This puts the practice of law well beyond the reach of the layman. For legal assistance in specific instances, the services of a competent professional usually are advisable.

Basically, law is a system of rules. Members of a society establish these rules in order to live in relative harmony. To achieve this end, the individual relinquishes certain rights for the good of the group. For example, each person in this country has surrendered the right to drive on the left side of the highway in order for everyone to drive in relative safety.

At some time in his life, almost every individual is a victim of circumstances, which would justify his taking another person to court. In most cases, litigation is impractical because the cost of going to court will be more than the sum involved.

The small claims court provided an answer. The purpose of the small claims court system is to provide a friendly forum for the litigation of cases that have high personal importance but involve little money. A qualified judge presides over most small claims court proceedings. All such courts have jurisdictional limits.

Dear Sirs,

My name is David Rose and I am applying for the position of associate attorney in the tax division of Peters, Bennett and Kramer, LLC which was advertised in the New York Times jobs online site. I am an extremely ambitious attorney always seeking to learn more about the intricacies of tax law. It is my goal to be the Internal Revenue Service’s worst nightmare.

I have worked exceedingly hard to get a top-tier education in accounting and law receiving numerous scholarships along the way. I earned my Juris Doctor from New York University and have passed the New York State Bar. I have a Master’s degree in Business Administration from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Notre Dame. I am also a certified public accountant.

During my third year of law school I participated in one of the coveted internships with George and Stein, PC. in Manhattan, and also worked part-time as an accountant at the Fisher and Campbell CPA Firm in Philadelphia while doing my graduate work at the Wharton School. I believe I have a wide range of practical experience as well as a stellar education that can be used to the benefit of the tax clients at Peters, Bennett and Kramer.

Along with my attached resume I have included 2 letters of reference. I am available any time to visit your office for a personal interview. I would welcome the opportunity and challenge to be grilled by some of your partners on my knowledge of tax law in America. Yours truly,

David Rose
