How do I write a personal statement for law school?

I am looking for a sample personal statement for a law school application.?

• I'm having a difficult time trying to compose a personal statement for an application, and I was wondering if anyone can assist me in finding sample personal statements. I would like to observe other personal statement to find trends, themes, etc. Thanks.

• Answer:

  I don't have a copy of mine on hand, but it got me in to saint louis university school of law. I would suggest listing what you have accomplished and what your goals are. Mention your grades, your excitement for learning and list reasons why you are interested in practicing law, etc. Truth is, your LSAT score probably has more to do with whether or not you will get in than your personal statement does. I mean, your personal statement needs to be good, but it is not really that determinative of whether you will get in or not. I wish i could be of more help. Good luck. By the way, make sure you really, really want to be a lawyer before going to law school. It is incredibly stressful and challenging and you must have true dedication in order to succeed there. It will take up a lot of your time and money so be sure that you are willing to give it your all.
