Law School Personal Statement

[Joffrey]

I am at the tail end of my law school applications and am trying to wrap up my personal statement. Any one of the attorneys or law students here care to take a look at my current draft?

You'd probably do better to bring it to one of your sociology professors or maybe the chair of your local green party.

 

[Joffrey]

Well I have a few real life people helping me, I figured it would be interesting to see what the styleforum mafia would say about my work.

 

[dragon8]

I'm up for it.

Do you have goofy sentimental crap in there about how you've wanted to use the law to save puppies ever since your neighbor poisoned your dog when you were 7? Anything about why you are an underrepsented minority and what you can add to the classroom?

How many Habitat Houses have you built ?

 

[Joffrey]

Haha nothing terribly sentimental.

Dragon8, I will send you a PM

Do your best, but remember it is almost meaningless compared to your GPA and LSAT.

 

[Ataturk]

If you think it's meaningless, work in how you think the poor deserve their lot and see how it goes.

Sure, I'll take a look at it. What schools are you considering?
