Successful Statements of Excellence in Criminal Law

Sample 1st Paragraph for JD Admission to Law School, Criminal Law, African-American Applicant, Football Player

I am an American black man who played college football; and I see sports as a great way to keep young people out of trouble and on an academic track where they will have a chance to build satisfying and productive lives. I am particularly concerned, as an African-American, with the high incarceration rates of black people in America, especially young people, and particularly boys, with as many or more entering our criminal justice system as register for college. This is the cause that moves me spiritually and thus it must be my struggle. I ask for admission to your distinguished JD program so that I might use the degree to join a long line of African American students who have built careers on the foundation of struggling for our people’s liberation.

I want to help you get admitted to Law School. Let us seize the high moral ground together as a team!

My service is distinguished from other law school personal statement services by my humanitarian emphasis. I take the high moral ground, fostering a sense of historical justice through the celebration of diversity. Most of my clients are international students, and I enjoy helping to prepare the leaders of tomorrow in the field of law, people like you who want to make the world a better place. I help you brainstorm ideas free of charge so as to make your long term goals as creative and convincing as possible, helping you to weave the disparate elements of your story together in an eloquent fashion that causes you to stand out from the crowd.

While my PHD is in the area of Religion, I like to think of myself as more of a historian than a theologian. My focus has always been on moral theory and thinking as it relates to politics and international relations; yet, I have always been aware of how all of this invariably takes place on the foundation of Law. It is our legal system and its enforcement that makes moral thinking, dialogue, and, subsequently progress possible.

For the past 30 years, I have labored to stay current on most of the news coming out of the Developing World, Latin America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East. I have studied world religions and cultures extensively for decades. Fluent in Spanish, I am published in that language in the areas of history and gender studies.

All of the Statement samples on this web site were written more than 2 years ago and all are anonymous.

Professor Anne Coughlin opens her doors to a lecture from her Criminal Law class in the fall 2011 semester.

Students who are studying for the Juris Doctor degree in Criminal Law may wish to take legal or non-legal community service-oriented work - otherwise known as pro-bono work - in order to develop professionally in their specific area of study. Common pro-bono work often undertaken by students who are studying for their Juris Doctor degree may include free representation working in specific areas, such as domestic violence, family law, civil rights or crimes related to felonies and misdemeanors.
