Personal Statement

Commitment to Public Service is one of the core values needed in any

organisation especially in Government Service of which I am currently a member.

Without being committed to Public Service of which law is an intrinsic part, one

cannot succeed in achieving the organisational goals be it the government or the

private sector.

2. I am very much committed and interested in policy areas such as laws, rules and

regulations, judgements and case studies pertaining to the government programmes.

This is because of being a law graduate and a current policy implementor on behalf

of the government it is important for me to get a clear understanding in the above

policy areas which this course would help me to achieve.

3. I am a Political Science Graduate and subsequently completed my Law degree

from Delhi University. My academic experiences in obtaining the above degree’s and

in addition later clearing the Indian Civil Services Examination and becoming a

career diplomat by Joining the Indian Foreign Service have shaped my career goals.

4. I wish to get enrolled in the Case Western School of Law to get a better

understanding about the various facets of laws and its theocratical perspectives.

Case Western School of Law is renowned for its LLM and pursuing the programme

would give me a better perspective in the understanding of that part which laws and

International Economics play in the smooth running of the country. As a Civil Servant

in a developing country, it would give me a chance to have a better grasp of the

realties/problems faced in the art of law making and implementation, to achieve a

better delivery of the policy at the ground level.

5. I hope to gain a better understanding about both practical and theoretical

aspects of law by attending the program. The concept of law is very diverse and has

multi-layered facets that requires a detailed study to get to the very core of law

making. The study would give me good insights that would help in the making and

implementation of various policies connected with law in my area of specialisation

i.e., governmental law and policy making.

6. My long-term career plans in terms of legal issues would be to get a good

understanding about the concept of law making. As, I would rise in the higher

echelons of Bureaucracy, I would be required to make laws for various strata of

society and it would require both laws and policies to be modified and adapted to the

needs of the various beneficiaries. A clear and concise understanding about the

concept of law making and public policy is needed for effective policy formulation

and implementation.

7. I wish to acquire domain knowledge in the field of law with specific focus in policy

areas such as laws, rules and regulations, judgements and case studies pertaining

to the government programmes as they pertain to my field of work in the

government. This will help me get a better understanding of the intricacies involved

in law making in these diverse fields which play an important role in governmental

law and policy formulation.
