Grapes Analysis

The solid set of skills I have amassed through my volunteer, professional and academic career all have equipped me with the drive, work ethic, and capability to succeed in law school. I wholeheartedly believe that the University of Windsor, with its unique focus on research, providing a broader perspective on the legal process and theory, is the school that I can meet my full potential. And more importantly, the legal education offered at the University of Windsor will prepare me to fully and effectively act as both an advocate and advisor to any client or entity I go on to

Earning a law degree, coupled with my passion for serving others, I will be able to fulfill my deepest desire of serving those whose voices are not heard. I plan to use my law degree to create policy in favor of those that are underprivileged. My concerns for the poor will find new practical forms of expression as I learn jurisprudence; furthermore, I intend to shape my legal education with the firm commitment that I will not allow my thoughts and objections to go unheard. If accepted, I expect that the greatest intellectual leap of my life awaits me at [Insert Law School here]. Given the education and opportunities provided by [LAW SCHOOL NAME HERE], I intend that my resolutions are not ones that will pass with the day, but determinations which are rooted in a lifetime of

From when I was ten until I was fifteen, I wanted to become a lawyer. I’ve always had impressive public speaking skills, a persuasive personality, and a knack for debate, so it seemed like the perfect fit for me. However, upon a taking a law class my sophomore year, I realized that lawyering might not be exactly what I expected it to be. As I learned about the different laws and the complexities of the court system I was

Despite the diversity of my experiences throughout the Garnet and Gold Scholar Society program, each area is connected by a theme of helping both children and families. This theme was born out my desire to seek a career where I could help others. Initially, this meant becoming a physician’s assistant, however over the course of my Florida State University and Garnet and Gold Scholar Society experiences I have decided to pursue a career as a child advocacy lawyer.

It is with the development of these skills that, as a future lawyer, I hope to one day assist those disconnected from the law due to their social circumstances. The Osgoode PCLS program is of great interest to me as it provides an avenue in which I can channel my desire to help those who were denied their rights to safety, opportunity, or justice. Such an experience can allow me to find a way to expand on the effort to equal access to the law. It is through learning that the first step in affecting change can occur. Although I have not spent my entire life in school, I perceive my entire conscious life as a learning experience. Law school is but a step in the learning process, just as actually being a lawyer will be. While I can never learn everything, I hope to eventually have learned enough to find a way to increase accessibility to justice, even if for but one individual. I deeply implore you gatekeepers to allow me to take my next step so that I may try to act as a voice for the

It’s not always case-breaking finds at one o’clock in the morning, exhilarating oral arguments or massive jury trials. Instead, days are spent crafting discovery plans, drafting and editing briefs, receiving criticism from colleagues, outlining arguments and reading filings from opposing parties all while trying to balance the multitude of other aspects of daily life. A Civil Action addressed this truth. It addressed the financial difficulties certain career paths can take and also addressed the effects a legal career can have on personal relationships. It is, of course, difficult to generalize the application of one story to the entire field, but a realistic understanding is more useful than ideas of grandeur. Knowing this reality prior to really beginning my undergraduate career allowed me to remain focused, develop the skills I needed, and maintain a realistic understanding of how to prepare for law school. Every class I completed, every group I participated in and every job I’ve held has been in furtherance of my goals to become an attorney. This lesson from A Civil Action helped provide a necessary

Although strong academic results are a priority to me, I also believe that maintaining a healthy balance between study, work, and personal life is important to my development as a well-rounded lawyer. Since the second year of my degree, I have consistently maintained a distinction average throughout university whilst also working at Witchery, teaching dancing, volunteering, undertaking regular exercise, team sports and interacting extensively with family and friends.

I am not a traditional law school applicant. I am a 33 year-old Hispanic mother of three boys, aged fourteen, eleven, and ten. I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley. My mother immigrated to the United States from a war-torn El Salvador in 1979. A family friend smuggled her out of the country as they fled from continued atrocities committed by the Salvadorian military-led government. Having only completed the eight-grade and not speaking any English my mother cleaned houses and babysat for a living. By 1984, she was a divorced single mother to my then four-year old brother and my two-year old self. I have never met a stronger and more hardworking woman. Work has always been a part of our lives. For as long as I can remember, I accompanied my mother to work. By the age of nine, I could comfortably translate for my mother as I could clean a house and help care for a child. By fourteen, I was a weekend babysitter. I inherited a strong work ethic from my mother. As a child seeing my mother’s struggle, it also engrained in me a deep sense of responsibility and a yearning to help.

Opposite The Grapes tavern, is a large bronze sculpture that is situated between Narrow Street and Ropemaker’s Field. The sculpture is called, ‘Herring Gull’, by Hackney-based artist Jane Ackroyd. The sculpture was commissioned by London Docklands Development Corporation and completed in 1994. Upon looking at the sculpture you will notice a rope surrounding its feet, the rope helps give the sculpture a deeper meaning or two as ropes were required in the past shipping industry, also the rope alludes to the adjacent street, Ropemaker's Field as the name suggests, that ropes were previously made there in the past. Overall, the sculpture evokes the past shipping trades that occurred in

Obtaining a solid legal education foundation is essential. CUNY Law produces professionals that are passionate about assisting the disempowered and underprivileged. This is what I desire to become. The opportunity given to CUNY Law students to address social justice issues through legal remedies and community partnership is an exciting and meaningful one. I desire to help amplify the voices of ignored groups, and to encourage them to know and to exercise their rights.

On day one we sat down and talked about making a idea for the project and all agree on a volunteer day which we would get students and parents to come together and clean up Grape Day park that day we completed our goal on finding what the project is.

I will excel in law school because I am a goal-motivated person who enjoys being intellectually challenged, as evidenced by my academic record. In the second year of my undergraduate degree, I applied for and was accepted into the highly competitive English Honours program at the University of British Columbia. I chose to apply for the program because I wanted the opportunity to hone my research skills, to work with other highly motivated students, and to develop my writing abilities in order to prepare myself for law school. I have accomplished all of these goals, as evidenced by the two-term completion of my 40-page undergraduate thesis which was well-received by my supervisors. Although I consulted with my supervisors, my thesis was a largely self-directed project which improved my time management skills and taught me how to set my own interim deadlines. I believe these skills will help me succeed in the legal profession, which is demanding in terms of balancing attention to detail with sound time-management practices.

Education is an essential part of modern society. In order for society to continue to advance, every person of every gender and race must have access to education. Unfortunately, I didn't always feel this way. Before I began high school I couldn't have cared less about academics. My free time wasn't spent on studying, but rather on frivolous pass-times that hurled me into a life of self doubt and a feeling of worthlessness. I saw others around me advancing in their education and deciding what they wanted to do with themselves, and I realized that my life was missing one important factor: A commitment to academics. I contemplated the future, which inevitably comes whether we are prepared or not, and I decided that I had one passion: Law. I began preparing for the inevitable

As I near the end of my high school experience, I’m faced with the onerous task of selecting my future occupation. After years of deliberation and introspection, I’ve come to the conclusion that it would be in my best interest to continue on the path I’ve known thus far; therefore, I plan to advance my studies in law following my departure from high school. I feel as though this is what I’m called to do. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always possessed the zeal to advocate for those in need. This particular career field also holds several key components that suit my ideal job description.
