I Am Pursuing A Career

For as long as I can remember, it has been my dream to become an attorney. That being said, coming from a small town in Wisconsin, people around me view this as an ambitious and unlikely goal. Upon learning of my dreams, many people from my hometown are surprised that I—a female—would strive for such a masculine career path. However, rather than allowing this discouragement to stop me, I use it as motivation to reach for my goals and prove that a woman can succeed in a traditionally male field.

Recently, I participated in a campus tour that was led by Ms. Keli Huang. The visit provided me with a better understanding of what Cardozo Law School has to offer. Cardozo Law undeniably has an outstanding reputation among legal institutions, along with brilliant professors who are truly invested in their student’s studies. However, the inviting community is what really sets it apart from other law schools. Ms. Huang raved about the supportive and friendly environment among the students. The welcoming atmosphere at Cardozo Law offer the students an unparalleled legal education that cultivates energetic strong class of attorneys; it is a community I would be honored to be part of.

Ever since I was a little girl I have always aspired to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps and become a prosperous attorney like him. He exerted himself strenuously, graduated from Northeastern Law School and was one of the founding partners of the Morrison, Mahoney and Miller Law firm currently located in Boston. It has been an arduous journey for me to verbally express the least endeavoring to follow my grandfather’s legacy. Shortly after graduating high school, my life consummately spiraled out of control and I was faced with adversity that seemed insurmountable. It is paramount to take a moment and apportion some brief history considering that I my past has molded me into the strenuously exertive, goal oriented student I have always aspired to be.

I am not one of those individuals who realized that a career in the legal field would be their lifelong dream from the age of six or even twelve, or to be honest, after graduating high school. I have been aimless for a majority of my life, and it shows. I chose to major in biotechnology, then after a few semesters, decided to double major in literature. I then went on to become president of an academic society focused on International studies. It was not until I took the course Law and Business in my Sophomore year with Professor Jisoo Lee that I believed I could be nothing else but a lawyer. I was enthralled by what others found tedious and boring, spending every available minute reading case files and figuring out ways to, as my professor

I define myself as a curious researcher and reflective practitioner who perceives legal education as a combination of passion and practicality. Whereas my idealistic side wants to thoroughly understand the development of global legal ethics, my pragmatic side asks what actions should be taken by lawyers to solve international legal problems. Hence, Penn Law’s core strengths in providing a remarkably interdisciplinary learning experience and the program of Legal Practice Skills will be the bridge to my academic and professional aspirations.

Mr. Bailey took a risk and resigned his position as Kroger Manager when he received his letter of acceptance from Thomas. M. Cooley Law School in Lansing, MI. Mr. Bailey would make the President’s List at Cooley and decided to transfer to Salmon P. Chase College of Law, in Highland Heights, Kentucky. My pursuit of my Juris Doctorate was one of a tortoise, instead of the hare and he obtained his Juris Doctor degree in December 2005. He then took and passed Kentucky Bar Exam in 2008. He began his legal career as a Public Defender in 2009. The Public Defender’s office training allowed Mr. Bailey to learn and work on various legal matters that continues to be of great benefit to his practice today. In 2011, Mr. entered private practice in Bowling Green, KY, and continue to strive for professional excellence, skills, and intelligence. Over the years, Mr. Bailey has fought for justice, helped keep families together, fought against racial profiling, employment discrimination, and became a voice for the voiceless. Today, Mr. Bailey is the owner of Bailey Law Firm of S.KY, PLLC in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Mr. Bailey practices criminal defense, immigration law, personal injury, Bankruptcy and

Here I was, attempting to get my own life figured out, while my father’s life was figured out for him. I have had many encounters with the law, whether they were bad encounters, like when my aunt, who was addicted to crystal meth and heroine, lost her child to the State of Arizona, or good encounters, like when my mom adopted that same child, who then became my loving younger brother. Maybe these encounters with the law are a part of what drives me to go to law school; although I am interested in entertainment law, it is empowering to know that I will be able to make a difference, to hopefully allow for some real change, as hopeful as that sounds. I will be able to learn the inner workings of

Providing legal services to underserved communities can be both challenging and rewarding. I anticipate such a career after graduating from law school. My upbringing and experiences influence my desire to serve rural areas with limited access to legal services.

I gained fame quickly and it wasn’t long until one of the big guns noticed me; Senator Daniel Moynihan recommended me to the president at the time, George H. W. Bush, who promoted me to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. From there I saw many cases, including the Silverman v. Major League Baseball Player Relations Committee, Inc case, in which my decision ended the 9-month-long strike, and several

I was born on July 2, 1908 in Baltimore, Maryland to William and Norma Marshall. My father was the grandson of a slave, who worked as a waiter at an exclusive club. My mother was a kindergarten teacher. Both set of my grandparents owned grocery stores, but my father wanted to be independent of them. Fortunately, my family and I enjoyed a comfortable, middle-class living. One of my father’s favorite pastimes was to listen to cases at the local courthouse before returning home. Then he would debate the lawyers ' arguments with my brother, William and me. I believed debating court cases with my father and brother sparked an interest in me becoming a lawyer. Also, my parents placed great importance on education, encouraging my brother and I to think and learn.

From my father, who has dedicated his life to developing community through ministry, to my mother, who despite being raised as a transnational migrant worker, pursued public education and now advocates for individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities, a strong sense of community has always been a part of my value set. I believe that my life experiences serving disadvantaged and often systemically oppressed minority communities have led to my desire to pursue the profession of law. My time spent interning at a law firm only reaffirmed my belief that the practice of law is right for

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

I am interested in attending the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University due to the plethora of opportunities that are offered to their law students. I believe that these opportunities are encapsulated by the Scalia Law Advantage, as the law school’s proximity to northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. grant access to an incomparable amount of career opportunities and high-caliber faculty. These features are especially of interest to me as I believe that gaining practical experience in the government, a private law firm, or a non-governmental organization would be integral in developing a legal career. In addition to the exceptional location and professional opportunities, Mason Law’s smaller community and 1:11.8 teacher to student
