Does anyone think it would be irrelevant to discuss the impact that my parents' divorce had on me? I am 25 now and the divorce took place when i was 16-18. This is what I was planning to focus on as it is was the event (and a tragedy) that had the biggest impact on my life and my character as far as law and law school is concerned but I am afraid it all took place too far away in my past to shed any light on why I would make a great lawyer.
I'm afraid this question is preventing me from making any real progress on my statement (I dont want to waste time writing on a topic that wont have any credibility) Any guidance or re-assurance would be appreciated!!
pls help!! (quick question but VERY important!!) Forum

in theory yes...but you have to make the connection. if it actually has something to do with why you want to become a lawyer, then yes put it down. or in an addendum if it affected performance like in first year college or something.
