Law personal statement Writing Services

“I clearly remember that day from the summer vacation of my fifth grade. The usual silence of our neighborhood was broken by wails of sirens, ringing of phones, and shouts of urgency. My mother pulled me away from the windows as a police officer forced our neighbor into the van from his house across the street. I felt sad and confused. The man would smile and greet me every day as I set out for school. In fact, he was innocent, and  the police acquitted him only after five long years of trials, false accusations, and media shaming.  Later, I realized that his misfortune could have been short-term had he been provided with adequate legal aid.

This incident from my formative years has guided me several times when making life and career decisions. I wanted to choose a profession that calls for social commitment and enables public service. After completing my schooling, I joined for a degree in journalism and mass communication. The decision was based on the notion that perhaps media would help me bring the best to society. My career and academic experience with the media have been a long race. It acquainted me with many officials and experts of their respective fields and made me understand the world deeper.

During the degree years, I had been a dynamic participant in the clubs and organizations of the college. My predisposition was mostly towards groups that worked on various social causes. The blood donation club, the social service club, and the students for nature were some of the clubs that I was a part of. I also got the opportunity to serve as the vice-chairman of the Citizen Journalist Assembly.

I joined as a journalist at The Hindu after completing my college education. This was an opportunity, not only to serve society, but also to broaden my understanding of the world around me. This practical exposure significantly refined my writing and communication skills. A career in news was highly satisfying in the regard that I could keep the public informed and help them make more learned decisions.

The academic and professional insights I have gained from a journalistic career have taught me many things. One of them is that, a deeper understanding of the legal system can be greatly empowering. The system exists to protect the common people. But even the guaranteed protection turns out to be a luxury. Many ordinary people are not even aware of the legal rights they are entitled to by the law and constitution. There are people waiting to pounce upon the ignorance of the general public. ‘Ignorance of the law is not an excuse’ – so states the postulate. But the corollary that the same ignorance is no reason to be taken advantage of is often left untold.

I want to join The University of Lawless as it has an unmatched status in terms of academic excellence, the eminence of faculty, and other amenities. I have observed that the institute empowers its students to take impactful actions even before the course has been completed. The encouragement given to pro bono service is also in line with my character. I believe that your university’s educational setting that promotes social obligation and community service will be the best for me to thrive. I look forward to a favourable decision on your part.”
