法学夏令营的个人陈述

[夏令营总结讲话]夏令营总结讲话(1) 尊敬的各位领导、老师、同学们：大家好! 今天，我们在这里隆重举行20xx年第北票市素质教育第十四期夏令营闭营仪式。在此，我代表参加夏令营活动的全体老师...+阅读

I first realised I wished to study law whilst reading a newspaper, when it suddenly occurred to me that every article was somehow related to the law. I remember thinking how amazing it was that such a diverse range of issues could be linked back to a single word. This truly unique quality of influencing all aspects of life (although I am sure there are plenty of economists who would question its uniqueness) has prompted me to read law as an undergraduate. It intrigues me because it is continually evolving over time, faster rate than anything I he met in my current studies, in order to remain a true reflection of an ever-changing society

I built upon my initial interest by idly reading The Law Machine by Marcel Berlins and Clare Dyer; it provided me with a firm grounding in the essential principles of the British legal system and highlighted its apparent weaknesses. To further consolidate my knowledge I read Learning the Law by Glanville Williams and he kept myself informed of current legal events printed in the The Times, I he also attended a law seminar at Kings College, University of London

I thought it a wise move to pursue an insight into how the law works in reality. I successfully applied to bee a Berkshire Witness Service Volunteer and thus embarked on an in-depth training course

This incorporated an introduction to the functions of the Crown Prosecution Service and discussions of the skills required to work with people from many social backgrounds. My responsibilities mainly involve providing emotional support for witnesses throughout their trials, this has helped me develop an appreciation of what the law represents to someone from outside the court system and how deeply it can impact on their lives

In order to gain a different perspective of the law, I obtained a work experience placement with a local solicitors firm. My work evolved from basic office duties, such as filing, faxing and answering telephone calls, into acpanying solicitors to court and liasing with barristers on behalf of the firm. The opportunity to work alongside people who he dedicated their lives to the law has strengthened my resolve to study law and given me the confidence to make a well-informed decision

Throughout my school life, I he maintained an independent, self-motivated approach to my studies. Hing studied a broad range of A Level subjects, I feel I he acquired a wide variety of skills: from Mathematics and Physics I he learnt the art of questioning the world around us and developing a keen sense of intellectual curiosity; from English Literature and General Studies I he understood the importance of expressing myself clearly and concisely through words; whilst from ICT I he developed a sound understanding of an area which is playing an increasingly important role in society

My role as Deputy Head Boy has helped me gain a sense of responsibility and maturity; tasks such as anising large numbers of people, arranging important school events and making speeches to large audiences he helped me develop strong personal and munication skills. These he been further strengthened through my duties as a sixth form mentor for the lower school pupils, where I provide support and advice for younger pupils who are struggling to cope with the pressures of school life. I he also held positions on the student council, presenting my views and those of my peers to the senior school staff. Above all else, I he learnt the rewards of making a positive contribution towards school life in more than an academic sense and think I can take this understanding with me to university

Aside from schoolwork I he a strong passion for rugby, representing and captaining my school and district at all levels as well as participating in a sports tour to South Africa. My other interests include football, cricket and I am a keen chess player, peting during the tour to South Africa

I believe I can contribute a genuine passion and enthusiasm for reading law; I am hoping to study at an institution which presents law as an intellectual discipline in its own right, one which will allow me to develop the skills of analysis, reasoning and discussion required to be successful beyond undergraduate level.
