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.

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

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

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.

By encouraging the group, we enthusiastically completed our assignments and I was able to fulfil my role promptly and avoid disciplinary measures from the student affairs unit. I learnt valuable research and communication skills from this experience, which contributed to my success in the bar part II examinations. I intend to deploy these skills in presenting the seminar requirements of the Justice Studies courses and preparing my

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.

Academically, my combination of International Baccalaureate subjects has enabled me to develop my analytic, problem solving, and debating skills. By extension, this made me appreciate the diversity that a legal rights career offers. The Economics Higher Level course initially introduced me to the fields of commercial and corporate law, as well as the implications of media ownership.

I realise that my desire to become a reforming lawyer demands a lot of myself as an individual and I am willing to work hard in order to acquire the appropriate skills. However I feel that my university experience thus far has already left a huge impression upon myself that will help me achieve my goals. The structure of teaching has led to the need for me to grow as a person and this has subsequently let me express my individuality. One area of marked improvement has been my organisation and planning. I have had to prepare for syndicates and seminars thoroughly to ensure I can follow proceedings. This improvement has promoted greater confidence whilst engaging in discussions.

Today I am ready to take the next step and pursue the Juris Doctor degree. Law has always been an interest of mine but it became more apparent when I had the fortune of meeting a brilliant attorney who became my friend. He was not just an educator, advocate, and mentor; his actions changed many lives. His generosity with pro bono services that defend the unprivileged community fascinated me. My first time in a court room was watching him defending a young individual who was falsely accused of absconding because a probation officer went to a wrong door. While being in detention his mother passed away and he was not granted a furlough. The injustice I witnessed only furthered my resolve to become an attorney. Sadly, my friend passed away recently but his actions inspired me to advance more quickly to my goal. After researching multiple law schools, the faculty, resources, clinics, and externships at Barry University School of Law fit best my educational needs. My plan after law school is to focus on public interest and become an advocate for those whose voices are not heard. I know that my determination and passion for the law will be an indispensable value to

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.

For quite some time, I knew that I did not want a bachelor’s degree to be the end of my education; I knew I wanted the challenge of more and could push myself to do so. My motivation to learn and to continue expanding my knowledge also guided me towards law school, as the law and studies of the law are always changing, therefore my education would be too. Becoming an attorney has been a goal of mine for most my life which is why I chose to earn a major in Criminal Justice Studies. However, it was not until college that I truly knew law school was what I wanted to do. Between my own experiences and the courses encompassed with a Criminal Justice major, my interest peaked even more as it gave me hands on experience and

Temple Law’s shows commitment in providing opportunities to learn through experience, and service. Reflecting on my background, it would be ideal to blend studying legal topics and servicing the public at this school. I am confident that the course of study, community, and array of opportunities at Temple law would provide a supportive environment that will allow me to become a well prepared and effective lawyer in the future.

Since high school, it was my dream job to be a lawyer. Over the years, I experienced doubts concerning how prepared I was and if I could handle the time and effort it required. I realized that nothing is simple and straightforward, and the hard work and time invested in a project always pays off. I wanted my career to be something that would impact the lives of others in a positive manner. I asked myself, 'why law exactly? ' And my response is to fight for the rights of others. The law is such an intricate part of individual 's lives. There are individuals without certain resources that enable them to fight for own their rights. People should have faith in knowing that the legal system will be on their side when addressing any claim. I desire to be the lawyer that offers a voice to these marginalized

areas of the law, but also the rigor of the first year has helped to develop skills indispensable to
