Hi Anne,
This is irrelevant to the blog topic, but I am planning to apply to law schools in a couple of years and I was wondering what books you would recommend to beef up my knowledge on the LSATs/law school admission process (besides yours, of course).
Hey Ann,
Thanks for sharing this listing of the new personal statement of law schools. My wife was looking for the same stuff from past few days. This will be definitely helpful for her.
I’m so glad, Jon!
Hi Ann,
I have a totally random question but hope you’re able to answer:
When you apply for C&F in 3L, does the Bar look at ALL your law school applications or just the one for the school you attended? I ask because I realized I might need to amend a date on my resume and (possibly) a C&F thing (it’s pretty minor). Do I need to contact every single law school I have no intention of attending? I have the feeling I’m just being paranoid.
Thank you for this wonderful resource!
Hello Ann,
I am presently researching how to write an effective personal statement. Most tutorials emphasized an honest approach regarding personal experience . Experiences which led to the decision of going to law school . My experience however, is that of a criminal past. I am presently in the process of applying for a certificate of rehabilitation, AKA , a governors pardon. Would it be wise to offer up in a general way what my life used to be like , what happened and what its like now?
Hi Ann!
I understand this blog post is about changing your personal statements relative to particular law schools. I have a question regarding your stance on additional essays or diversity statements that prospective law students submit in addition to the personal statement. According to your book, The Law School Expert, you specifically mention that pre-undergraduate education experiences shouldn’t be included in the Personal Statement- with a few minor exceptions. Does this rule apply to additional essays or diversity statements, in your opinion? Thank you!
Hi Hanna. It depends on the situation.
