Why Do I Want To Be A Lawyer

Studying Laws combined will give me the skills applicable to a variety of traditional and nontraditional law careers to help others. I have a particular interest in the way that legislation can have profound impacts on others lives and the way litigation is an important means of readdressing issues and achieving justice for the individual and society.

I wish I could say, like many other have in the past and present, that I had always wanted to pursue a career in legal studies, but that is not the case here. As I entered university a mere five years ago, I came with the impression that I would obtain a Bachelor in History and eventually secure a position in the field of law. If that were to fail, I would become a Professor of History. That is not to say that teaching is not a noble and integral part of our society, which it indefinitely is; it would be an honour for anyone to teach however it was never truly for me. The fact is, about a year into university, I quickly realized/comprehended/recognized that teaching would simply be a scapegoat for the circumstance that I had yet to figure out what particular profession that I wanted to aim for in law. Needless to say it was a frightening conclusion for myself as it had been my aspiration to fully set my foot into the law atmosphere once I was finished with my education.

My goal is to become a Criminal defense and Personal injury attorney and help people. I will after law school join a small law firm where I will learn all I can before going out and starting my own firm. I will eventually after making a name for myself as an attorney run for a political office such as council member or state delegate. My experience with political officials will help me achieve

I can truly say receiving an acceptance offer to Howard University School of Law is such an honor and a blessing. I have dreamt of this moment many times over the past few years. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of Howard's legacy entrenched in perseverance and commitment to social justice. Since I began looking into potential options for my legal education, Howard has been at the top of my list for a multitude of reasons. As someone who attended a PWI for undergrad and as a result encountered some pretty blatant racism and discrimination, I feel that it would be so powerful to attend an institution founded to specifically empower our people and groom us to change the trajectory for future generations. Besides Howard’s ideal location in the heart of our nation’s capital, the school itself maintains a nationally recognized prestigious reputation while offering graduates unparalleled networking opportunities. I look forward to being taught by renowned scholars who look like me, and the extremely low student-faculty ratio ensures that I will have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with my professors.

My goal in life is being a defense lawyer. Being a lawyer, I would be heavily involved with government, especially the justice department. As a defense attorney would require me to work hand in hand with the justice department. One issue I’m very passionate about is criminal rights in trials. I want to make sure suspects are treated fairly and justly and that the innocent remain free while

The reason that I am interested in pursuing law is because I want to be the voice of the voiceless. Being Hispanic, I have encounter so many powerful Hispanics that are deserving to be in this country. Even though most of my people are not aware of their beneficial needs, I want to be the one person to help them achieve their goals. When I interned at the University of Houston Law Center Immigration Programs, I had the opportunity to help my fellow Hispanics in the legal systems. What I learned from that experiences are that my people who are coming from dangerous places and the second that they walk into the office is because they are seeking a sign of hope.

Currently, I aspire to go to a top university, to study Sports management and Sociology. I want to take these degrees and go to Law school to become a brilliant, black, female, Sports and Entertainment Lawyer; eventually branching out into my own firm. I work hard every day, in and out of school, to one day live these dreams. From debating with a varsity team on the weekends, to attending EMERGE meetings every other Monday, on top of all my other commitments, because this is how I will

For a long time coming, I've never been quite satisfied with the knowledge I uphold. Law touches almost every aspect of our life, and like life is constantly changing to keep up with the societal trends in which we try so hard to conform to. It would be a honourable privilege to study and complete the Advanced Diploma of Legal Practice, at Victoria University.

Who do you want to be when you get older? The usual question is what do you want to be, but is it not your job that makes you who you are as a person? I have always wanted to be a lawyer, but as I have been getting older, I am realising that there is something else I feel like I want to do. Right now, I really want to graduate at the USMA, also known as West Point, and become an infantry officer. They are pretty different, but they do have some similarities. They both require a college education, but being a lawyer pays more, and they also have extremely different working conditions.

The career I want in ten years is to be in family lawyer. I want to be in my own office getting and working on cases. The important stepping stone to get to that would be for me to at least finish two years of college to be able to get into the paralegal program. There I will be working behind the lawyers as I learn and grow I will be see if being a lawyer is really for me. I will work as a paralegal all through out

To illustrate why I want attend law school and become a lawyer, I must first say that I do not remember ever in my life not wanting to be a lawyer. Growing up in a poor neighborhood of a third-world country, to poor parents, going to college seemed at times like an unreachable dream.

My dream job would be the position that I work with presently. I’ve been employed with a non-profit agency 15 years as their Fiscal Manager. Duties include supervising the payroll/accounting office, monthly financials,

Sociology enables us to understand the different aspects of society; society plays a crucial part in our lives, looking at people’s personalities, gaining a deeper comprehension and understanding how society works is something which I’m fascinated by. I’m interested in topics such as government policy, education, crime and culture. Combined with sociology, criminology particularly captured my attention. The in-depth focus on criminality and the criminal justice processes; after doing some of my own research, I looked at the UK and US criminal justice system and noticed the difference within our systems. I have decided to combine my two interests in these and topics and pursue a degree in Sociology and Criminology at university.

Around my freshmen year of highschool I would watch seniors take a big step in life and move to college but it overwhelmed me and had me thinking about what I wanted to do? I did a self evaluation and fell in love with the idea of being a forensic psychologist. Next summer, I will be attending Fresno State University for my sophomore year in pursuit to major in Criminal Forensic Behavioral Science. Understanding how or why people piece their thoughts together into an action fascinates me. Investigating ones actions and overall aspects that lead to a crime scene to bring justice would be the perfect job for me. Aside from what I want to become, developing skills and being able to apply them to my field of work would be idealology

It wasn’t always like this. I didn’t grow up intending to one day become a lawyer, and I didn’t meet some famous politician who inspired me to follow their foot steps. But I certainly don’t have to tell you that, my high school and junior high curriculum can. Usually any free space in my schedule would be filled with incompatible oddities, some of which include: computer aided drafting, journalism, yearbook, acting, etcetera. In actuality, I grew up despising politics due to my internal belief that they were naturally polluted or tained by the blood of the innocent people politicians corrupted and reigned over. Growing up in the late 20th century and the continuation of the 21st ultimately brought with it some needed change and with it my own. Eventually, I was presented with the question we all fret as adolescents, “what do you want to do in this world?” and as a response I looked around to find the answer and I saw a puzzle. For a long time nothing seem to fit and all my talents felt out of place. However, I found that the things I came to love were not the answer but the tools that would help put my future together. Through my love for art, history, and language, I was able to see the importance of the “details” within not only my own life but the life of those around me. The things we came to live for and to love were not simply given to us but were once fought for and had now become our unalienable rights. Looking back at the darker aspects of life I saw poverty and
