When law schools specify they want, say, a two page paper. Is it better to assume they want it double-spaced or single-spaced
Sincerely,
To-space-or-not-to-space
Double space.

Thank you for the BU essays, they were a LOT of help!
When a school asks for a personal statement without specifications what would be a good length to go by?
Thanks!

Chris, i like a 2 page personal statement….
(PS – I can no longer post “Anonymous” comments because they are too difficult to respond to in a way that makes sense to readers. If anyone has posted anonymously who would like to repost, I welcome that. I’m trying to stick to the rule, but it’s always hard to implement new rules….)
I didn’t think that the essays were all that good. They weren’t bad but they seemed a little impersonal. Also I’m pretty sure that they were writing to a specific topic and not a general personal statement. They were okay, could have been better.
Top Law School has a lot of great personal and diversity statements posted. http://www.top-law-schools.com.
I think that is probably the best place to go, real people.
Thanks for the essay info and examples. This is a great blog! Very helpful!
