Law Personal Statement

Improved Essays
Law is a dynamic concept that adapts to the needs of the public. I desire to study law so that I may implement my knowledge towards protecting the rights of citizens. My interest in law sprouts from my enthusiasm for critical reasoning, analysis, and justice. My background has prepared me for a future in this field.
Over the past three years I have engaged in Advanced Placement courses. Rigorous courses such as these have prepared me for higher education. My receipt of 5's on the AP United States History and AP European History examinations demonstrate my firm foundation for the study of law on the grounds that social sciences greatly influence laws. Also, I partook in political science, psychology, and entrepreneurship classes at my local community college. Dual college enrollment has presented various opportunities to study subjects that pertain to my interests. I thrive within these courses, particularly political science. This class widened my knowledge on governmental

Recently, I was promoted from a public relations position to vice-president. Holding various leadership roles within this program has developed my leadership, communication, and organizational skills. Through this program, I have taken numerous business courses. During my semester of Contract Law, I received invaluable knowledge from a retired prosecutor and I attended "Law Day" at Whittier Law School. Also, I was invited to teach a business class to middle school students over the summer. During this course I lectured on topics such as sales, marketing, and interviewing. Through this program I have obtained an internship at Proove Biosciences, where I will soon present research on how laws affect medical businesses. This business program undoubtedly augmented my passion for public service and has also improved my public speaking skills as I have operated the monthly meetings utilizing parliamentary

    While interviewing Dylan McKinnon, a second year law student at the University of Iowa, I gained knowledge about the subject field and domain of law school and how it prepares students to emerge into the law field after graduation. I found Dylan during his office hours in the Pappajohn Business Building on the third floor on Friday afternoon. His office was poorly decorated with the only item on his desk being a laptop. The room seemed much too big for the minimal space that he was using but the artlessness mimicked his simple, but insightful answers to the interview questions. The room was grey and most likely could not be changed, a rule of the business college.…

    This course was extremely intriguing and had me hooked from the first discussion forum. It required me to venture out of my comfort zone and ask questions that others viewed as odd, but I knew was going to assist me in my studies. I can recall one specific instance where I was on twenty-four-hour duty and I began asking a police officer doing his security checks questions. It had to be two in the morning and you can tell by the exhausted look on his face when he walked through the bitter cold into our dimly lit building entrance. He spoke with very little energy as he said good morning, but once I began asking him the list of questions that I just so happened to have typed on my laptop screen he immediately perked up and began to speak with life.…

    Law, for me, is something that fascinates my inquiry mind and curiosity, is absolute and controversial, is precise and abstract, can be cruel or decent and always brings about significant influences on people’s lives as being a system of regulating individuals in a state. My initial interest in law stemmed while I was thinking what liberty and equality are, and how and to what extent we could or should guarantee those conceptual entities for individuals as inalienable rights of all human beings. I have been made to think the meaning of liberty in junior high school as I was always given choices to do anything based on the school's principle to develop abilities to self-manage, where I was responsible for every action to take in a society called school. Although there were no rules, I tried to make a more appropriate decision which reflects on my own ethics so that I do not have the wrong idea of freedom. I have also read a story "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut in English class and it made me think what true equality is.…

Hence, the very reason I want to become a lawyer - to end these perversions.…

    What Law Means to Me When people are asked about law and what it means to them, there can be many common preconceptions. Perhaps much of society imagines lawyers in fancy suits scolding each other while the judge pounds their gavel. Although these pre conceived ideas from television series and movies may seem real, according to Max (2013), the actual job of being a lawyer is nothing at all like what you see on TV and is possibly less like the real thing than any other profession depicted on television. Personally, I once thought this too.…

    True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…

    was sitting in the corner of the court room as the Child Protective Service (CPS) caseworker read back a recent interview she had with a young teenage girl. In excruciating detail, they read aloud the intimate confessions of how this girl had been sexual abused by her father. I cringed, as the case worker quoted the girl's description of her abuse to the court; explaining when and how everything had happened to her. My whole body tightened as knots formed in my throat and my hands tightly gripped the bottom of my chair. The caseworker then explained how their investigation had found physical evidence to support the testimony they had received and with the help of the judge they would be able to keep her out of contact with her father.…
