What your law school personal statement says about you

Today we discuss not how to conquer Logic Games or what prep books are best...

(although I've talked a LOT about those and will keep doing so)

No, today is all about that fickle, subjective beast: The Law School Personal Statement.

While there's no formula for writing a great statement, there are some things to consider that could help you write the best one possible.



So I've put together a bunch of questions I'd ask myself if I were a law school admission officer.

If you put yourself in their shoes, you’ll be one step ahead of the game.




After you get done with those, I have a lot more resources for writing a great Law School Personal Statement farther down the page. So don’t stop scrolling after you finish #7!

Write On!

P.S. If there’s any questions I didn’t cover, but you think are relevant, let me know! I’m always willing to add a #8!
