Re: Personal Statement for 1L biglaw diversity associate
You could do a variation on this. Something along the lines of, "I want a challenging career working on cutting edge and complex issues, but I also want to be able to give back to the community. This firm allows me to do both, given its high caliber of practice and front-page deals, and its extensive commitment to pro-bono work."Anonymous User wrote:will be applying for a biglaw diversity 1L position (complete huge long-shot I know)....need advice on 500 word or less personal statement talking about why I wanted to go into law and why this firm...my law school application personal statement was very heavily public interest focused because i volunteered with pi organizations in undergrad...always wanted to do biglaw but needed something substantive to say when applying to schools
