This summer is the perfect time to start thinking about your personal statement if you will be applying to law school this fall. Students who have completed the law school application process consistently say that the personal statement took longer than they expected! This workshop will get fall applicants ready to begin their personal statements early, allowing plenty of time for reflection and editing. We will provide an overview of the personal statement and what it can do for you, in addition to discussing how the resume and personal statement are a 1-2 punch in your law school application. We will also cover how to start the personal statement, tips and suggestions for making it a standout piece of writing, and we will discuss how to approach additional essays required by law school applications. Please register so that we can ensure enough seating and materials.
