I am confident that my increase is related to the discovery of my passion in the law, and my focus on this discipline. This passion led me to join the “Legal Studies Option,” a sub-discipline offered by my university that will appear on my degree. This option requires me to take compulsory courses like constitutional law and theories of justice, while allowing me to take interesting electives that will benefit my legal career like legal writing and business ethics. This sub-discipline has provided me with the opportunity to study a variety of legal areas, each of which I have enjoyed applying my multi-disciplinary academic experience, as seen above in my paper on Tweens and advertising …show more content…
My initial career aspirations are to return to Canada, and have my degree accredited for future Canadian practice. To this end, I will be able to use my experience studying in the UK to benefit the quality of my legal practice from an international perspective, and apply it to areas of the law that interest me, like criminal litigation and defence. The opportunity to study in the UK is most appealing to me because it allows me to become immersed in a deeply historic legal culture, to which much of my country’s legal system is based on. In addition to this, I am able to gain perspective by traveling during my studies, as well as connecting with family in the area. I am most excited to work with colleagues from other backgrounds, and share my perspective with them, whether they be international or domestic students With this opportunity to study the UK, I would be active in the legal community through events and activities held by the school, looking to make the most of my

My goals for the future include getting into a college with a good teaching and mathematics program, this could give me a variety of jobs and I was speaking to someone and they told me that people are looking out for women who have a degree in mathematics which will help me to obtain a good paying job.
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.
As high school goes on, I hope to maintain good grades throughout the four years. I hope to have a 4.3 GPA or higher, and interact in school activities more. In my opinion, 9th grade has been a good year, new lessons have been learned, and I have become a more responsible person. For the rest three years, I wish to beat my laziness and to keep working harder. I also wish to finish high school with my family and friends with me.
Other than its emphasis on interdisciplinarity, Duke Law also impresses me with its international outlook. As an international student having studied in two continents and enjoying travelling, I have come to see how big the world is and how different our cultures are, but the "world" as a concept has become much more tangible to me when I gradually understand the interconnections at various levels between individuals, societies and nations. Therefore I want to be part of the globe by further expanding of my horizon and developing the necessary skills to practice internationally. The varieties of the international programs offered by Duke law, ranging from the semester exchange programs and summer institutes abroad to the dual-degree programs in international law, are one of the greatest among its peer schools. The career center offers specific guidance for students looking for overseas internships as
Although strong academic results are a priority to me, I also believe that maintaining a healthy balance between study, work, and personal life is important to my development as a well-rounded lawyer. Since the second year of my degree, I have consistently maintained a distinction average throughout university whilst also working at Witchery, teaching dancing, volunteering, undertaking regular exercise, team sports and interacting extensively with family and friends.
It reveals that I have an affinity for law. I thoroughly enjoyed my paralegal studies and learning about the American legal system. I gained a deeper appreciation for our Constitution. Through studying the history of our laws, I better understood our country’s mission to form a more perfect union. I am fascinated by how the evolution of our laws runs parallel to the evolution of our nation and its people. I admire the example our country sets for the world when we continually strive to make our laws and their administration more equitable and impartial for all of our
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.
I traveled to Barcelona where I was able to fully immerse myself in a different culture and way of life. I am also taking french this year which I believe further enhances my understanding of different cultures and also my own. Another subject that will aid in my understanding of law is psychology. This is my favourite subject at school as it allows me to express my opinion freely as there is no right or wrong answer. I find the subject of crime and trigger’s particularly interesting as I enjoy finding out what drives people to lie and deceive. During summer, I participated in a law course at Strathclyde University. During my time there I portrayed a solicitor at the behest of the prosecution in a criminal court case. I found this to be instrumental in pulling me towards law as a degree. I loved the feeling of being put under pressure to prove beyond reasonable doubt. This year I am a member of my school's charity committee and during my time on the committee I have been able to help a lot of people and see that there are many people less fortunate than I am, so I hope to use my law degree to do something about
I first acquired an interest in pursuing a law degree during my sophomore year of college. In order to prepare myself, I chose to major in criminal justice, with the intention of becoming a defense attorney. During my senior year, I decided that I did not want to go to law school directly after college. Shortly after graduation, I moved to New York City and explored other career options. However, I remained open to a career in law. Moving to New York City from Miami broadened my view of the world, and was challenging. Some of those challenges, that I overcame, enabled me to realize my potential as an advocate and a lawyer.
\When I first stepped into the school to see the Law and Public Service open house, the first thing that popped out to me was the rigor as well as the mention of constant debates and public service work. Debating and public service enthralls me every time I either watch or experience it myself because of how we help or defend a side. Some non-academic activities I participated in outside of school that will help me succeed in the Law and Public Service is helping out in my cultural community. In this cultural community, I was either the MC of the night, or performed on stage. As an active part of the community, I attended the annual convention and took part in helping in the games and activities provided. As well as doing public
According to Benjamin Franklin, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Benjamin Franklin, a scientist, printer, inventor, author, political theorist, civic activist, and diplomat, facilitated the University of Pennsylvania. He portrays an extraordinary, yet extremely well rounded individual; these characteristics make up the foundations of the University of Pennsylvania, an exemplary university that will allow me to explore my intellectual and academic passions. By attending the University of Pennsylvania, I can expand my knowledge and fulfill my aspirations.
Before I wrote this paper, I began to realize that I was taking the step to one of the most life changing decisions of my life. We all know law school is a huge investment and a serious commitment for the next three years ahead. After three years of LSAT prep, saving money and maintain a legal work experience; I have made my decision to pursue a law degree. I know I have what it takes to be an attorney. It has been a steady dream of mine and I have tried my best to stick with following my dream. I have tried my best to do everything right. But, somehow, the only thing that stood in my way was time. After years studying to improve my LSAT score, taking time out to prep my LSAC profile and save enough money, I am more than confident and ready to take on a law curriculum.
