The world of Patricia Highsmith has always been filled with ordinary people, all of whom are capable of very ordinary crimes. This theme was present from the beginning, when her debut novel, Strangers on a Train, galvanized the reading public.
A memo or brief you prepared for lawyering seminar can work well as a writing sample. Employers are looking for clear, effective legal writing and analysis. An objective interoffice memo or a persuasive brief are both acceptable vehicles for demonstrating your writing and analysis abilities.
Basically any kind of writing, esp. once you get out of lower division courses. So, for example, in a Film class you could have a 12-15 page analysis paper (or longer, esp. for final papers). In creative writing classes they might give a twenty page story. In History you could have a long reaserch paper. My friends in sciences tell me they have lab reports that regularly go longer then ten pages, etc. Bascially, any kind of major writing assignment (as apposed to, like, reading responces) can be any length, depending on what the teacher wants--basically all you change is the scope of your argument.
