Default Re: Personal Statement, Uni Applications

I havent had to write them, but just give a bit of background to yourself, and the reasons/events in your life that made you choose law.

Then disucss how you will use your law qualifications (probably good to pretend that lawyers are noble people in this bit!) to help others/right wrongs/destroy injustice.

Talk about a desire for a respected career (if that is what you desire) that has lots of opportunities to do many things and see the world.

End with a statement about how you feel that studying law with make you a better, wiser person, and that you feel you have something to offer the legal profession.

As i said though, i have never written one, so the above is quite likely to be utter bollocks. Probably better to get DragonShadows folks to read it for ya!

Good luck!
