Does it matter if PS doesn't answer "why law?"
Posted: Fri Sep 22, 2017 5:01 pm
I'm writing my PS and have some questions. Should you make it obvious why you want to go to law school or what makes you interested in law? I was planning on writing it on an experience (unrelated to law) that helped me overcome a problem/develop skills helpful for law but without really giving a reason why I'm actually interested in law school. My background is already in political science so it isn't like I'm coming from bio/chem/dance/music where law isn't a natural progression.
People seem to have different opinions so I wanted to see what everyone here thought. Some sources online say you should explicitly give a reason for attending law school and others say it doesn't matter unless your background is kind of random/unconventional. (Unless the school's prompt actually asks specifically about why law school)
Thanks!
