St Johns Workshop on Writing Law Essays

St. Johns University had just finished organizing and hosting a workshop on how to write a proper law school personal statement. The workshop was held last November 2, 2010 in the Queens Campus, specifically in the St. Augustine Hall/Library, located in the Writing Center Conference Room. The workshop started at 5:00 pm, an ideal time for prospective law students who were currently employed.

The workshop is an important part of admissions preparation. This is because the law school personal statement should be able to help the admissions committee to get to know each of the applicants much better. Serious applicants should make sure that they are armed with all the knowledge possible on how to write a good essay. The essay is a way to introduce themselves on a more personal level to the admissions committee. The grades and the LSAT scores matter, of course. However, when the competition is quite stiff, the admissions committee members turn to personal statements. From there, the members of the committee will know which applicants have the potential to do well in law school and later on in the legal profession.

For those who have missed the November 2 workshop at St. Johns University, there are many other opportunities, either offered by other law schools or by private tutorial and training centers.
