Don’t underestimate the importance of your personal statement in the law school application process!  If you plan to apply to law school in the fall, now is the time to start planning for your personal statement. 
 
Join us for a workshop to:

  • Find out what law schools want in a personal statement 
  • Learn about the process of drafting a strong personal statement 
  • Start the brainstorming process (if you haven't already)  
  • Engage in writing exercises to start or edit your personal statement

This workshop is appropriate regardless of where you are in the personal statement process.  We will not read and edit individual statements at the workshop but some of the exercises may help you with your editing process.
