Hi dont know if this is rhe place to ask this or if this will be answered but I was preparing my personal statement and I had made an analogy about the freedom of interpretation in law being similar to the freedom possesed by an artist to create art the way he sees it. I was told this is a bad analogy because an artist can take a tree and make it an ant whereas in law a tree is a tree and an ant is an ant. Wondering what your take is on this. Thanks.
I agree with Jodi; while it’s not a perfect analogy that actually could make it a great analogy for a law school personal statement. Why? Because no two sets of facts are ever the same in the law, but your job as a law student and lawyer will be to draw comparisons while recognizing and distinguishing differences. It sounds like it could be quite interesting if you’re up for the challenge. That said, for your personal statement, I really would suggest writing something that is personal and unique to you and leaving the more abstract, philosophical discussions for another day — your PS may be your only chance to speak to the adcomm directly, so you want to give them a sense of who you are that they wouldn’t be able to see from the other parts of your application. Good luck!
Hi Gavin,
I think your personal statement could be fine as long as you take notice of the ways in which the two things are different. It’s true that an artist has a lot more leeway in terms of creation whereas lawyers are constrained by the laws already in place, but as long as you make that clear, it could still work.
Good luck!
