Best Law Schools Personal Statement Examples:

Here is a personal statement example of student who was planning on attending one of the best law schools;

Macon Georgia is a small, southern town.  Growing up there as the youngest of four with three older brothers, there was always a certain sense of chaos around our house.  Our entire family lived in the Macon area, and a day never went by when we didn’t have at least one visitor.  Aunts, uncles and cousins used our front door like a turnstile, showing up with food, hand-me-down clothing, and the stories that made up their days.

As far back as I can tell when, there has never been a lawyer in my family.  I come from a long line of farmers, auto mechanics, and nurses.  To tell you the truth, I’m not sure when the seed to go to law school was even planted.  Perhaps it was in watching old Perry Mason reruns with my dad.  Perhaps it’s a reflection of my nature to always want to bring order to chaos.  Regardless of how a random and unpredictable life can be, I am the one who’s always trying to make sense of things and see how they fit into a bigger system.

I am a problem solver at heart, evident in the phrase that my family is always teasing about over-using “OK, let’s get to the bottom of this”.  Most of my family are laid back and rather effortlessly go with the flow of their day to day lives.  Part of me envies the almost Zen qualities they all seem to have inherited from who knows where.  There’s no denying that I’m the most tightly wound of them all, “that’s my boy, out to save the world”, as my mother would say.  I have been an advocate since long before I knew what the word meant.

Though it never made me very popular with my older brothers, I was always quick to point out any perceived injustice being carried out in their interactions with me or each other.  I suppose when I was six this made me a little more than a tattletale.  As I matured, however, I believe that made me more of a mediator.  As a young student, I was fascinated with science, biology in particular.  Learning about and the orderly systems that were at work beneath the surface, and how, at least at the biological level, things appeared to follow an orderly system consoled me on some level.

In high school, while I still enjoyed a love of science, I became more interested in social and political order, or in many cases, the lack thereof.  The inherent lack of fairness I witnessed in the world burned a hole in me.  I felt that somebody should be doing something about it, and I wanted that somebody to be me.  The law is an imperfect system, but it’s the only one we have, and it is within this system that the potential for fairness, order, and basic human dignity lies.

Perhaps the law pales in comparison to the greater laws that govern life from the shadows and beyond.  Perhaps the ideals I cling to are little more than the fantasies of an uptight child.  The fact remains; there are people being treated unfairly, and I’d like to do what I can to help them.
