BCG Publishes a Style Guide for Search Letters

Have you been wondering whether you should italicize ''habeas corpus'' or spell out the number 617 in your formal correspondence? Wonder no more, as BCG is providing a free style guide for cover letters, which should clear up those questions and many more. The 2002-2003 BCG Attorney Search Letter Guidelines and Style Sheet (PDF file) is available for download on the BCG website. Grammatical errors or even poor sentence structure in a search letter usually means certain death to any job hopes, so before you apply to your next job, make sure you have a copy handy.
