How to answer "Why Law"

Post by HRomanus » Mon Oct 27, 2014 8:40 am

Some of the schools I'm applying to have specific questions relating to "Why Law." I feel confident about going into law, but my reasons sound very abstract and naive without any legal experience as evidence. Ultimately, I don't know what being an attorney is like (outside of TLS, Internet research, and brief conversations with attorneys).

What's the best way to deal with this?

Thats fine for answering a question on an application. It sounds better than the answer most attorneys give to "Why law?" Also, pretty much all that matters anyway is GPA/LSAT

So just roll with that.

I think this is overall a good answer. Maybe say "orderly system for resolving disputes" instead of "actions" (not 100% sure what you meant here though).
