Human Rights Education Personal Statement

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

These organizations will enhance my found passion for service and justice and empower me to do more. Beyond the opportunities Berkeley law offers to me, I know that I will add a unique perspective on law and justice to the already diverse and inclusive student body because I have a unique background, and experiences including, my experiences from my immersion trips in various communities in Kenya, Tanzania, and the United

Basic human rights is an ideal that has been discussed for centuries, but yet is and has been a problem all of these years. Because Germany stripped Jews of these rights, the world witnessed one of the biggest tragedies in the world. Germany named this event the Holocaust, a mass extermination of over 5 million Jews. After this bitter time was over, world leaders then came together and developed a document called the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to ensure the world would never experience something so horrid ever again; to protect future Jews and the entirety of the human race.

Even after about a century since the ratification of the Emancipation Proclamation, African Americans in the southern part of the United States still experienced severely hateful and unequal treatment. The saying “separate but equal” was used mostly to justify this unfair treatment as well as things like the Jim Crow laws. The Jim Crow laws separated African Americans from being in places that were of the same quality as those that white people went to. These places were always of poorer condition and mostly unbearable but African Americans went to them nonetheless because they could only work with what they were given. As the plights of African American became worse the Civil Rights movement, a campaign intended to better the living conditions

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

Nevertheless, as said earlier human rights are learned to be a vital standard humanity should work towards its

Introduction: The human rights were created in 1948 as a result of the experience of the second world war. These human rights meant that everyone has equality. Or though these human rights were created as a law not everyone sticks to them and many people actually end up going completely against them. Since this happens many people take social actions to gain human rights back. Two of the most important in my opinion are the March on Washington and the Montgomery bus boycott.

In today’s America, it is a constant debate: Do we have true equal rights? The obvious answer to most people is no, and we probably never will. Though some people seem to live in ignorant bliss, thinking that everything is going well and everyone is being treated fairly, they are wrong. The theme of not having adequate human rights is commonly shown through the unjustness in documents one, three, and five.

Hello, my name is Alan Davis; I’m currently a senior here at FGCU. I am a double major in Legal Studies and Criminal Justice with a minor in Philosophy. I plan on going to law school after this year I haven’t decided on one law school in particular yet. I hope to learn how to connect everything that I have learned throughout my time at FGCU in this class and become better prepared for the professional world.

In Criminal Justice specialization. The opportunity to enroll in a  dual program such as Law & Criminal Justice is very promising to me and my projects and due to the fact that I already have an MS in Criminal Justice from the university of Nebraska, and I'm a member of several Criminal Justice associations. I think about this form of experience as an internship in the legal field and as a possibility to apply the skills I have learned in class during one program, in practice in the second program. It is an invaluable opportunity that is unique to UND only and that attracted me. In return for this experience, I strongly hope that my skills in other fields related to law will benefit both programs and will give me the opportunity to demonstrate my engagement and my nature as an involved individual.

The Legal Studies Academy is the right fit for me because of it’s focus on legal and ethical issues. I believe that this academy will prepare me best for post-secondary education and allow me to explore different law-related careers. I am very interested in the way that legal studies are infused into units in the core subjects. I would be very excited to be able to focus on these issues that I’m passionate about, across different subjects.

Access to knowledge and expertise needed to make a difference in the lives of many is the driving force behind my decision. By following my passions, I earned Culinary, Pastry Arts, and Food and Beverage Management degrees at the College of Southern Nevada, and it is there that I rediscovered my passion for law. I have always wanted to be a lawyer. Partly because that has been my answer to the “what do you want to be when you grow up?” question since I was six years old, but also because I feel that my own life’s path is taking me to a focus on advocacy and children’s rights. My path to law school hasn't been a traditional one, however I think that the very detours I have taken along this road are what will make me an excellent student and in turn,

All people are entitled to various basic rights which should not be desecrated under any situation. Some of these rights include political rights, civil liberties and most importantly the right to physical safety and life. Human rights bodies articulate for tolerance, justice, human dignity and mutual respect for all people. Human rights are protected by ensuring that all people receive humane and decent treatment. Denying people their basic rights are violating them and it’s a terrible offense which can face a strict legal response. Everything that violates people’s rights or prevents them from enjoying ought to be eliminated with immediate effect.. Many people from all over the world cannot access some services due to poverty.

Every single human being on this planet has rights. These rights are given to us through birth, and the day I was asked, what my human rights were, I found myself speechless. I did not know how to answer the question, which at the time sounded so easy. I forgot about the question that had me so puzzled, and just brushed it off, ironically six month later I get an assignment on the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. After reading this historic document, I realized how important human rights are. I believe most people take human rights for granted, we know they exist, but we don’t even know what they are
