My Journey to Law School

Introduction

I am inspired to apply to the University of Minnesota because it is an outstanding top-

rated law school with professors and the best library. As an educated law student, I am thrilled to

apply to join the University to pursue law. Despite facing challenges in my academic life, such as

attaining a low GPA, I have the drive, passion, and enough skills to excel in the J.D. program at

the University. 

Reasons for Joining the Law School

My incentive to pursue a J.D. program at the University of Minnesota Law School stems

from the fact that it is one of the most highly-rated law schools in the country. I am particularly

interested in the school's fully-equipped world-class library and its commitment to excellence.

With these resources, I am confident the University will provide me with the tools and

knowledge needed to succeed as a law student and become a successful future attorney. As a

current student of law, I have an opportunity to experience firsthand the quality and rigor of

education that the University offers. 

Overcoming Challenges

Although my cumulative GPA is low and my A-letter grades show I got a perfect 2.9, I

am confident I will succeed in law school. As evidenced by my consistent A-Letter grades, my

academic performance demonstrates dedication and commitment to excellence in law. I am

proud of these grades as they showcase my passion, drive, and commitment to overcoming

adversities that come with the rigorous nature of the program. Throughout my time at the

University, I have worked tirelessly to achieve academic excellence. When I join the J.D.

program, I will continue to raise the bar in law school.

Contributing to the Legal Community

As both immigrant and U.S. citizen, I am particularly committed to using my legal

knowledge in contract law to help Americans navigate challenges and legal complexities that

will ensure they are rightly protected by the law (Stremersch et al., 2021, p. 15). I am studying

law because I am passionate about contract law and its vital role in protecting the transactions of

Americans. I desire to help people to understand contract law better. By pursuing the J.D. degree

at the University of Minnesota Law School, I am confident that I will get a platform to assist

victims in understanding whether an enforced contract was formed and performed and the

necessary remedies available in case of a breach. 

As an immigrant and U.S. citizen, I am highly interested in ensuring that I contribute to

the broader American society by publishing a law-related book on voting in federal elections. I

believe that the book will serve as an effective tool for democracy and will help immigrants and

other Americans understand the electoral laws and dynamics (Stremersch et al., 2021, p. 18). My

legal writing and research opportunities and doing on a law journal reserved only for J.D.

students will provide me with a platform to further develop my communication abilities and

writing skills. 

Conclusion

In conclusion, I believe that my passion for the field of law, my academic performance

thus so far, my desire to contribute to the broad American society, and my commitment to having

a clear mind and achieving a healthy work-life balance make me an ideal candidate for

admission to the J.D. program at the University of Minnesota Law School. I look forward to the

opportunity to continue my legal education at the University and contribute to its tradition of

excellence.
