What to include in Personal Statement? Forum

[Godric32]

Hello all,

I am currently writing my PS and I am just wondering what I should include? My topic will be about my graduate degree and how my research led me to pursing a degree in law. After doing some research, I am interested in pursing either criminal law or public interest (this could obviously change, but this is what has caught my eye so far). Anyway, should I include my interest in both fields in my PS or should I stick only to one? Also, when writing my "why x" for a school, should a reiterate this information?

Thanks for the help!

What kind of criminal law? Working in a DA/PD's office counts as public interest.

Have you read the personal statements book?
