You know that you are a thoughtful, intelligent, and unique individual, but to attain your goal of being accepted to your target law school, you need the admissions committees to see you this way, too. Writing a powerful personal statement for your law school application is one way to achieve this. An effective personal statement highlights your unique strengths, reveals your motivation for attending law school, and clarifies the reasons you will make a great lawyer or legal professional. And our goal is to help you craft a personal statement that will make the schools take notice.
To that end, we have curated a collection of strong law school personal statements that illustrate how an applicant can present their qualifications, passions, and individual experiences in essay form. The sample essays showcase the use of creative voice, offer detailed examples, and draw the reader in with a clear, engaging writing style. Most importantly, each one successfully convinces the reader that the essay’s author is a compelling human being who would make a beneficial addition to a law school’s next incoming class.
We hope these sample personal statements will stimulate your writing juices. The applicants who wrote them were once at the beginning of their law school journey, just like you, and all of them were ultimately accepted to law school.
