well, you'll probably be alright if you just write a generic cover letter.

You could "target" them just using a mail merger. You could create a sentence like "I am particularly interested in your firm's ______ practice group[s]." Fill in the blank with the mail merge. Or, you could just use the mail merge to insert a unique sentence in a certain place in your cover letter.

see above. I go to a Canadian law school - OCI's for both Canadian & American firms occur later in the process than American law schools. Our deadline is Sept 8-10.

it won't take that long. one cover letter will apply to most if not all and you just have to add on to the one you used for 1L jobs.

all they will be looking at is your resume anyways.
