Dear Human Resources of [Nama perusahaan],

My interest in family and juvenile justice is the reason for contacting you. I spent the last five years dedicating myself to these issues. They are the reason I attended the Faculty of Law Universitas Padjadjaran, and they underscore my interest in becoming a lawyer in your office.

From my enclosed resume you will note that I had an internship with Pengadilan Negeri Bandung and I developed a solid understanding of the complexities of family and partner violence and provided advice and support to effectively protect and promote clients’ rights and needs. My published journals in Padjadjaran Journal of International Law (PJIL) has also contributed to the crucial work local law enforcement and battered women’s shelters perform.

Indonesia is my home, and I am committed to work as a lawyer promoting the issues of family and juvenile justice. I would very much appreciate having the opportunity to meet with you at a personal interview to discuss how I could marshal my experience, skills, and profound interest in this area of law to serve your office and its clients and make vital contributions to the work your office does for women and children.

Given my experience, I am confident that I would be able to hit the ground running as a legal officer on your team. If you have any questions before then, please call me at 0812-3456-7890 or email me at amanda.surya@yahoo.co.id. Thank you for your consideration.
