Every piece of writing has an audience and a purpose.

All Star Essays will help you craft a personal statement that connects with your audience and moves you toward your admissions goal.

The audience for your law school personal statement is the J.D. or LL.M. admissions committee.

The purpose of your personal statement is to persuade committee members that they want to give you a seat in their next J.D. or LL.M. class.

Admissions committee members already know whether you're qualified for law school. They've seen your transcripts and your resume, and your GPA and LSAT score. Your personal statement is your chance to show them to the person behind that data.

You're facing a tough audience. Law professors and students are sensitive to language and logic. After all, J.D.s and LL.M.s use those things for a living. You need to use your personal statement to show that you can think and you can write.

Another difficulty you face is essay length. Most law schools limit personal statements to two typed, double-spaced pages. That's only about 500 words. You can't afford to waste a single one of them. You need to focus on a single, compelling topic and to present it clearly and concisely.

A third difficulty you face is your competition. Your personal statement is only one of hundreds that each committee member will read. You need to make sure that your voice doesn't get lost in crowd. That means submitting a statement whose content and style will grab a reader's attention and linger in their mind.

It goes without saying that your personal statement has to be free of grammatical errors, misspellings, and typos. Any number of people could help you with that. However, All Star Essays will go the extra step and help you ensure that your personal statement rises to the standard of an effective law school personal statement.
