I see the world through different eyes than my peers. When reading, I micro-analyze the fine details, decoding the meaning of the words while subconsciously searching for any grammar errors, inconsistencies, or loopholes. I am also quick to defend my beliefs and ideas, yet consider the perspectives of others with an open mind and concede when I am wrong. Whenever I experience a sudden bout of curiosity, I take pleasure in researching extensive information on my latest muse; and-- to the shock of many of my fellow schoolmates-- I sincerely enjoy writing in all shapes and forms, from poetry to nonfiction narratives. With all of these attributes, my brain is practically hardwired for law-- and the University of Pennsylvania has the right “software” to help me run my best.
Naturally, the first aspect of the university that caught my eye was the impressive pre-law program. The University of Pennsylvania offers specialized mentoring to pre-law undergraduates, arranging for them to meet with current law school students who can share experiences and give advice on how to succeed on the roa...
...nality, talents, training, organization, attention to detail, attributes, and love of helping others. It would be a pleasure and honor to have the opportunity to be accepted into your law school.
Penn West is a pretty interesting company. Though it may be suffering through many problems, some investors are being recommended to invest in this company. I’d like to talk about this company and the difficult situation it’s in. At the end I think you should decide whether investing in this company would be worth it.
One-L, by Scott Turow, outlines the experience of attending Harvard Law School as a first year law-student. Turow weaves his experiences with those around him, and intertwines the professors of Harvard law, as well as their lectures. Initially, Turow enters Harvard law in a bit of disarray and awe. As a world of hornbooks, treatises, law-reviews, group studies, and legal terminology unfold beyond comprehension; Turow is confronted with the task of maintaining sanity. Time appears to be the most important variable, as Turow begins to study for contracts, torts, property, civil procedure, and criminal law; because time is so precious, one key-highlight for law-students is to balance family. Moreover, Turow is part of section-1, and two of his
My future plans include getting accepted into the A. James Clark School of Engineering honors program at the University of Maryland, College Park. In order to make this a reality, I studied daily in preparation for the SATs, taking the initiative by applying for different scholarships, taking challenging classes and involving myself in extracurriculars to shape myself into a well-rounded candidate. Being accepted into the SEAP program would be another valuable step forward in making that goal a reality. As an impressionable young man, I would desire nothing more than to work alongside the mentors of this program, learning all I can from
Princeton is an excellent university that provides good opportunities and education for hard working students to pursue their dreams. Princeton University is located in New Jersey with 30,000 residents in a safe and pleasant neighborhood (Princeton University - About Princeton; Princeton University - Facts & Figures; Princeton University). There are shops, eco-friendly streets, restaurants, and nice parks surrounding the campus. There is a shuttle train, the “Dinky,” can transport students directly from the campus to Princeton Junction Station where students can travel to New York and Philadelphia within an hour each. These places can be extremely useful to students wanting to discover countless resources of arts around them.
Rutgers University has always been my dream school and it would be an honor to get the opportunity to attend. Going to this college will not only guide me to a degree, it will allow me to have experiences that will help me later in life.
I set my goals high because I fully dedicate myself to achieving the goal at hand. It is with this same determination that I apply to law school, aspiring to advocate for those who do not have a voice. I hope to address specific injustices impacting vulnerable groups, such as (…I have to add something). I look forward to acquiring essential skills in law school that will effectively prepare me to make the changes I long to see a reality. Olivia showed me what determination and resilience looked like. Though I will never be able to repay Olivia, the lessons she taught me that have become an integral part to who I am today. Like Olivia, I am determined to make my dreams come true, with, of course, a smile on my face the whole
Penn as an institution is powerfully driven by a nonpareil dedication to medical research. As a firm believer of a well rounded education, I feel pragmatism, community service, and research should accompany an education, and Penn I perceive follows the initiative through wholly.
The importance of doing pro bono work as part of legal education is something that law students should take into account, not only due to the benefits it provides, both in developing key legal skills within a real-life context and enhancing graduate employability, but also because its charitable nature gives them a sense of having “given back” to their community by aiding those who seek out legal advice.
My experience so far at William Penn University has been a roller coaster ride. It has had its ups and downs similar to any other new experience to a person. As a freshman it takes some adjusting to get used to the style, especially when I have had the support from my parents for a long time. I have had moments here that I have enjoyed, and other ones that I would rather not have to deal with. It has been a full 7 weeks, but it definitely has been an experience I will need in the future and it is better to learn it now than later on down the road.
Coming out of my senior high school was one of the most difficult tasks I 've been given up to this point in my life. I was overwhelmed, excited, sad, busy, and uncertain of the near impending future. The past 13 years of my life I had been studying, practicing, playing, and working my way towards a brighter future. I could see the future in front of me, it was as if I could reach out and touch it. It was almost like getting a shot at the doctors, I knew it was what was best for me but I was terrified anyway. But I pushed aside my fears and on August 8, 2015, I set foot on a college campus, my home for the next four years. I knew why I was there though; I came to college in order to channel the love I have for my country into the motivation necessary to take the next step up the ladder towards a constitutional law degree, a degree I’ll use to protect this country and the people who reside in it. But to truly understand why I came to college, I have to start at the beginning.
Moot courts also teach professionalism and ethics to students of law, to apply law to fact, to structure and rank a legal argument by strength, and not to assert losing propositions. They provide law students opportunities to improve their legal writing, legal research, and oral advocacy in a competitive environment that prepares students for a competitive world. The moot court experience is perhaps the most important activity in law school. It is the activity that fully develops the skill every lawyer must possess: advocacy. Regardless of practice area, all lawyers must communicate in a way that advances their client’s interests, whether in a courtroom or boardroom. Most important, moot court builds character. Every student competitor “will be a better lawyer, and a better person, because of the moot court experience.”
Classroom learning at a college or university is only one small part of attending college. One of the most important ways a student can learn important skills and lessons is by participating in some sort of campus club, organization, or team. “Involvement in student activities is positively related to student retention and to personal success after graduation” (Barrow & Martin, 1996, p. 63). However, for college administrators and legal counsels, these activities can present them with a multitude of legal challenges and issues.
Some call me argumentative- I prefer the term dialectical. It is true, I enjoy debates more than the average person. Nothing compares to the thrill of triumphantly dispelling an opponent’s case and swaying an audience to my side. On top of that, I have a sincere appreciation and talent for writing, reading comprehension, and grammar. With these attributes, I feel destined for a career in law. Yet, it is more than just my personal tastes that have led to my interest in legal services. Growing up with a disorder, I have developed empathy for people with disabilities and a desire to help them by advocating for their rights. As a lawyer, I hope to take action to make the world a better place to live in for people with conditions similar- and maybe not so similar- to mine.
I am excited about continuing my academic career at Baruch. But, I am especially excited about working with educators like Peter Hall, Stan Altman, James Krauskopt, and Michael Seltzer. Their knowledge and experience in non-profit will prepare me for furthering my career. In addition, I am truly inspired by the mission statement of Baruch College. There is a sentence that reads, “The College’s graduate programs focus on professional preparation that enables students to become leaders and innovators in their fields.” This sentence defines the reason for the pursuit of my MPA and my career goal in the non-profit sector. For that reason, I know that Baruch College is where I will be able accomplish this goal.
