Persuasive Speech : Looking For Law

After researching what it takes to become a successful attorney, I learned that the legal field is one dominated by men. Not letting this hold me back, I understood that I must go the extra mile in order to reach my dreams. I always look for and take any opportunity to gain skills and experiences that will help me become a competitive law school applicant, such as maintaining excellent grades with my grade point average of 3.967, getting involved in various extracurricular activities like the University of Minnesota Mock Trial Association, and seeking out opportunities such as study abroad and internships.

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

With having to wait to attend college, I had more time to process what I truly wanted to get from life and my education. While literature is still my true love in academics I now know that I want to parlay that into a law degree once I graduate with my bachelors in English. The George Washington University is one of the finest stages for both degrees. I do not only want to soak in as much as possible when it comes to interpreting anything from Chaucer to Twain, but I also want to ensure that I am correctly equipped for law school. In complete honesty, the only aspect I am not entirely certain of at this point is what type of law I want to be involved with. I am battling between my reverence of education and my heart for the

The requirements needed to practice law today consist of an undergraduate school degree, an impressive Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) score and grade point average, a law school diploma and a successful completion of the Bar Exam. There exists no legal boundaries or barriers to the practice of law, only the desire and work to do so. Subsequently, the percentage of female students enrolled in law schools across the United States has remained at nearly half of the population of universities since 2000. This percentage is

After high school, I am going to attend Texas A&M to get an undergraduate degree in public economics and after that I will pursue further education at the Texas A&M Law School. I am going to get a degree in law so that when I graduate I can be a partner in my family's law firm. For the past couple of years I have toyed with the thought of either going to join the marines or being a lawyer but in the end I came to the conclusion that becoming a lawyer was the best bet for me; three generations of my family have done it and I would like to fill their shoes and carry out tradition.

After eight years in the United States Army, the desire to serve that first led me to join the military is guiding me to serve those that need it most by becoming a public interest lawyer. The University of Texas Law School is my first choice for the legal education that will give me the tools and experience needed to continue serving others.

Ever since I can remember I wanted to become a lawyer. I didn't know what exact practice I wanted to do, but I knew belonged in a court room. When I was in middle school, I started the first debate team at my school because I researched and discovered that debating could help me become an effective attorney. My 8th grade year I researched the best high school in the Dallas Independent School District that could prepare me to become a lawyer; that turned out to be Judge Barefoot Sanders Law Magnet. JBS Law Magnet required their students to apply in order to attend. Their application process was rigorous; I had to compile a folder of essays and work I did over the years, write two times essays, and have an interview. After I did all of this, a

As an aspiring lawyer, I find that concentrating on the Legal Studies in Business major will prepare me greatly for my future. I will be able to take advantage of courses, like the TIDES seminar: Law & Order, taught by Sanda Groome. This course will grant me opportunities to engage in field lessons, such as sitting in on trials, or touring courthouses. These Experiences will allow me to learn first hand what to expect as a future lawyer, which is essential for my success after

Going to school to become a lawyer does require step by step evolutions to succeed. First I need to know which state fits my background and needs the best. Like California which requires the two year basics of collage to work or take equivalency tests. Unlike states like Washington which you must have a 4 year bachelor’s degree from collage. The best thing

Today I will be arguing with the law ‘No driving between midnight and 5am’. As you all may or may not know. A time restriction law wasw introduced to all P1 licence holders and learner motorcyclists under the age 25 on the 28th of July, 2014.

In conclusion, becoming a lawyer is the profession I have decided to stay with. I find that any misconceptions about law can be solved and proven wrong through facts and statistics. I am still determined to attend Yale after I graduate from a four-year college. I have concluded that law is a tricky and difficult field but a field I would choose time and again as my profession. Lawyers are needed and rules are needed to protect them and what they do. After all, a lawyer fights for what is right and after that they file all the

Students have better chances of finding job opportunities if they go to a prestige law school. As mention before, lawyers prefer to work for corporations and large firms because of the financial benefits and the control over their autonomy. Even those who wanted to pursue public interest for personal values ended up switching to corporate law because they saw a greatly disadvantaged working in the public interest field (Stover). This explains the decline in solo practice because lawyers discovered they are unable to exercise their altruistic motives since their job limits what they can do. Lawyers who want to make a change by working for the poor realized that in order to exercise their political influence they would have to do it through litigation (Seron). However, as Stover mentions in his article, there are “limited sources. [and that] severely [limits] the ability of legal aid attorneys to adequately represent clients.” In other words, there is not much they can do to make a

It was October 6, 1998 when he was lured from the bar that cold, fateful night. His skull was smashed with a pistol butt as he was lashed to a fence, left for dead in near freezing temperatures. Nearly eighteen hours later he was found by passersby and taken to a hospital where we remained in a coma for several days until slowly slipping away. At his funeral, picketers carried signs saying, "God Hates Fags" and *Fags Deserve to Die."

In order to become a lawyer, there is three key components to past first: obtaining a bachelor’s degree, attending an accredited law school, and passing the bar exam. Beginning with a bachelor’s
