My Passion For Law

I am fascinated by the complexity of many legal issues and this has drawn me to consider law as a career. The documentary ‘Common’ for example opened my eyes to the controversy surrounding the law of joint enterprise. I particularly enjoy watching such documentaries and following current affairs and my interest in contemporary issues led me to take Law as one of my AS subjects. I live in a rural, agricultural area and land law is an area I would like to study further and having studied Sociology for GCSE, I am also particularly interested in family law.

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.

The law today is far too lenient upon men who abuse and kill their wives and claim ‘provocation’ to lessen the charge. Women are constantly beaten by their partners and some kept prisoners in their own home and eventually killed. In the case R.v. Thornton the defendant was a battered wife who killed her husband. Her husband after threatening her, the husband fell asleep, she went to the kitchen and returned with a knife stabbing him while he was asleep.

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

As stated in my personal statement, I was intuitively drawn to law as a system that requires a high level of logical and analytical skills, but my motive lies deeper in the belief that law as a powerful social factor can exert palpable impacts on the society. Throughout the course of my study, I have developed a strong interest in biotechnology and the health industry; it is my hope to pursue a legal education that will enable me to participate in and even bring changes to their regulatory systems.

This essay will critically analyse the significant changes that have occurred within domestic violence which is viewed as a vital subject within the criminal justice system. It will explore the way that domestic violence has progressively become a concerning issue in the criminal justice system from being relatively acceptable in recent history. In addition to this, the essay will explore legislation changes in relation to domestic violence and how the police have arguably been forced to change their attitudes towards a problem that was once thought of as a private regard. It will critically analyse the theories put forward as to why domestic violence occurs in today’s society. It will explore the weaknesses within the criminal justice system, especially the police in regards to domestic violence, the police previously viewed domestic violence as a matter of which they should not get involved. However as mentioned in the essay, after many reviews within the system, many improvements have been made to help protect the victim.

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 this analysis, I will attempt to cover the basis of Battered Women’s Syndrome as a legal defense. This will cover the historical context of Battered Women’s Syndrome as a legal defense, which will of course require a brief review of what battered women’s syndrome is by using experts in the field, usually psychologists. When reviewing the historical context of such a subversive topic, it is essential to the structure that we look at actual cases involving battered women such as abuse being reported and cases that have actually been brought to trial as well as the ending verdicts as the factors that may have caused the outcome. We must also look at different cases as to which the defense was used, such as situations where a battered women’s husband was sleeping, or any other relative situation as to which there was question of the imminence of a threat.

By studying Economics at A-level, I was able to develop and widen my skills in essay writing, where I have learned to argue, analyse and evaluate. Whilst studying Economics I discovered the recession may cause crime rates to increase; reasons for this can be traced to an increase in unemployment which often leads to people being on the street rather than at work. In Business I was able to learn about legal laws affecting employment, race and sales of goods and services. I was able to explore what rules and regulations businesses must undertake in order to remain within the law. Similarly, in Finance I also learned about many types of law

Also, circumstances are too complex to be translated into spoken or written words. Often, not only is the physical body flinching with tissue damage, but memory itself lies in ruins. Victims are often floating in a silent dissociative bubble. The memory of domestic violence for victims doesn’t simply dissolves like a cloud dissolves in the sky, it follows them for the rest of their lives. Thus, the Australian law needs to protect women from domestic violence. Based on the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR), only 7.2 percent received a prison sentence. The perpetrators of serious and domestic assaults however, are imprisoned only for a year. This demonstrates that the laws have certainly neglected to grasp the equity towards the

Law is of fundamental importance to our country, as well as shaping our modern evolving society. I felt that doing a Law degree can be both satisfying and help society in the future by

My personal goal is to pursue a career in law and to become a barrister in the future as I have always dreamed of myself in the court, advocating a client. The path in terms of becoming a barrister is very long and hard, involving numerous challenging steps. Firstly, I will need to complete my LLB Law degree with a minimum of 2:2 or above and pass the Bar Course Aptitude Test. Then, I will need to complete the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC). The BPTC is a year-long course which concentrates on different core subjects such as civil and criminal advocacy. During this course, I will also need to join one of the Inns of Court and attend 12 qualifying sessions at the Inn that I have chosen. If I am successful in all the sessions, I will be called to the Bar. Henceforward, I have to start my pupillage which will take 12 months. Although it is very hard to secure a pupillage in the UK, I believe that I will be able to get one with my determination and efforts. Finally, once my pupillage is over, I will be qualified as a barrister. After becoming a barrister, I plan to continue my career in my home country Cyprus, as it is much easier to obtain a judicial work in there.

Almost all little girls start their primary schooling years wanting to play school and wanting to learn. At home they act like they are teaching their own classroom and leading their group of students in front of them (most likely a stuffed animal), but their imagination, creativity, and eagerness to learn is at the peak when they begin their first day of school. Ever since that day I still want to be an educator and to make a difference in this field for the better. I have always found that the most intriguing thing for me in life is conveying knowledge and skills onto other people and watching in their eyes when the switch finally clicks that they understand what I have been trying to teach them. Knowing that the impact you made for just that short amount of time in that child’s life may never be forgotten.
