Things NEVER to include in your Law School application include but are certainly not limited to: A picture of your Maine Coon cat Fluffy performing acrobatics; A cologne sample with a note attached reading, “This is what I can promise you the next 3 years if you accept me”; food (no really, none – of any kind); any photos of the tattoo your friends convinced you to get on your Vegas weekend retreat; your 2010 tax returns; a note from the waitress with a lipstick kiss that reads “see you after hours; and I wouldn’t include any court summons papers with a note attached saying, “If this school accepts me, do you think you could help me out with this?”
I look forward to beginning my applications!

You should never say that you want to go to law school because you have no idea what you want to do with your life, but that you believe that having a law degree will give you the flexibility to pursue lots of different things in life. And you should never say any of this even though it is COMPLETELY true for 99% of all law school applicants and even though it is COMPLETELY true for 99% of all lawyers and 99% of all law professors and 99% of people involved in the legal profession.

Never state in your law school application how much money you would like to make, the hot trophy wife you would like to find from making said money, or how you would like to manipulate the system of law.
