I am writing to reiterate my strong interest in the University of Pennsylvania Law School. As I mentioned in my “core strengths” essay, there are several reasons why Penn Law is unparalleled top choice for me: the cross-disciplinary approach that provides best possible legal education, vast array of seminars and projects that allows students to get practical education, and the collegial atmosphere that permeates the school. I majored in Business Economics and Public Policy due to my interest in economy and policy development. I am thus particularly interested in certificate of Study in BEPP with the Wharton School. I would also like to participate in the Penn Law Financial Literacy Project and to join the University of Pennsylvania Journal

    Carney's Speech Analysis

    North Shore Community College celebrated “Law Day” this year by having noted criminal defense attorney J.W. Carney as a guest speaker. He began his speech by addressing how his own Paralegal makes his job easier by keeping him organized, and having him stay on track by telling him what needs to be done. He gave the advice of “follow your dreams” to anyone starting out in the legal profession. Attorney Carney stated the reason he became a lawyer was inspiration from watching the show “The Defenders,” and from movies like, “Gideon’s Trumpet.” In the beginning of his career, he worked for five years at the public defender’s office, five years as a prosecutor and now is in private practice.…

    Nathan's Law Research Paper

    In my home state of Mississippi, we have not had many laws passed, which are named in honor of crime victims. One of the most recent laws of this nature would be what is known as “Nathan’s Law”, named in honor of Nathan Key, who had been struck and killed by a vehicle, as he exited a school bus at his house. This incident occurred in Jones County, Mississippi on December 11, 2009, and Nathan was five years old at the time of his death. The origins of “Nathan’s Law”, as stated, began on December 11, 2009, as five year old Nathan Key exited a school bus, after school, and attempted to cross the road to get to the his house (Gebben v. State of Mississippi, 2012). Nathan had exited the stopped school bus, after his 11 year old brother,…

    Reflective Essay: Why Am I A Good Choice?

    Before addressing why Pitt is a good choice for me, I would like to review why I am a good choice for Pitt. The University of Pittsburgh values their “talented, diverse and high achieving students”, their “safe and healthy campuses”, their unique balance of “fun and camaraderie with internships and other learning opportunities outside the classroom”, and their focus on “developing students into global citizens” (University of Pittsburgh webpage, ‘Prospective Students’). I am a well-rounded student who places priority upon academics, as well as a broad array of performing arts extracurricular activities, over 300 hours of community service, several job experiences and religious organizations. Therefore, if admitted to The University of Pittsburgh, I would fit right in with the ardent and accomplished student body, just as I would benefit as a person and as…

I can speak from experience having been in those shoes. I’m comfortable shedding my entrepreneurial career and wholeheartedly committed to becoming a full-time law student. I’m certain that every life experience, challenging crossroads, shed tears, and answered prayers prepared me for this moment in…

    A Puerto Rican Experience

    One foot rooted in urban Puerto Rican heritage and the other having been later immersed in the Southern black experience as an adult, I have learned to merge the conceivably disparate cultures of my family. Each afforded me a unique point of view, developing the self-assurance that has empowered me to succeed in the face of adversity. Being of Puerto Rican descent in the inner city kept the lack of financial stability of my youth in view and motivated me to pursue my education. As a black American female I learned the value of diversity, having experienced first-hand the misconceptions that can shape in a homogeneous environment. For instance from being called “too much of a free-spirited city girl,” in the country to later being “too old-fashioned…

    The future is never clear, and my own was no exception. Thoughts of what I wanted to do with my life were always followed by uncertainty.

My transition from childhood fantasies to adult goals was anything but seamless and I often found myself lost, especially in academics.…
