Personal Statements

In writing your personal statement, you are both the lawyer (advocate) and the client (subject matter). Your job is to advocate in the most effective way possible on behalf of your own law school candidacy. To “win” this case, you have to convince the judge and jury (the admissions committee) that your candidacy is compelling enough to gain admission.

Recommendation Letters

Effective letters of recommendation help your chances of admission to law school. Particularly good ones can push you from low on the wait list toward the very top or open the door for someone who is otherwise merely a borderline candidate. We can help you solicit recommendation letters that make a difference and teach the importance of a good recommendation letter.
