Carmen’s Answer

Begin by looking at a job advertisement for a lawyer and write your cover letter in response to that. If you are applying in response to a job posting, you will write about how your skills match what they are asking for. For example, if the job posting says you need 3 years experience taking depositions, you will write about your experience taking depositions and why you're good at it. Obviously you are too young to have this experience, so you can try to relate it your school projects, etc. You can also use resumegenius.com >resources.coverletters or search for "cover letter lawyer examples" online. Good luck!

Michael’s Answer

I agree with the advice that your cover letter should be responsive to the job advertisement. You should emphasize your experiences and education that are relevant to the job description. You should also research the law firm itself, and based on this research, emphasize your experiences and education that fit with the law firm's practice and culture. You want to demonstrate that are detail oriented and know how to do research. If you are just starting out in your career, you likely do not have a lot of experience that will be relevant to the law firm. After all, everyone has to start somewhere. Therefore, for better or worse, most law firms will overweight your grades in law school in their hiring decisions. Therefore, the best preparation for writing a great cover letter is to do well in law school.
