I'd go with XXX law school and just change it for each one. Or if you mention multiple times in the statement, you can have the first one specifically named the school, then everyone after that can be "your" law school. Although this makes it harder to send personal statements out, I'd just create a folder with subfolders and specifically save in the sub folder and title each personal statement accordingly to the school.

Do you think it makes a difference?

If it's not tailored, don't do either - it will come off as fake and insincere. If it's tailored, then obviously you put the school name.

I do, because "you" is a dangerous word to use in formal writing, and because I have specificlaly heard XXX is a turnoff when it is not tailored.
