When applying to law schools, it was imperative that I find an institution that offered legal clinics and student groups in the areas I am most passionate about. Thankfully, I discovered what Georgetown University Law Center has to offer. Georgetown Law is home to the Domestic Violence Clinic, Georgetown Street Law Program, and the Harrison Institute for Housing and Community Development. The work of these three programs alone, made it instinctive for me to write this letter to express my commitment to attend Georgetown Law if admitted. More than any other program, the Harrison Institute for Housing and Community Development made Georgetown Law my first choice. For almost fifty years, Georgetown Law students have advocated for policy reform
Attending the University of Houston Law Center would afford me the opportunity to gain an education I know only they could offer. The University of Houston is a first-tier institution that constantly produces superior talent that continuously excels in all fields of law. Earning my degree of jurisprudence would be the crowning achievement in my life, but knowing that I couldn’t be able to use it effectively would be as equally disappointing. Coming full circle, I’d use my degree to make a difference for those privileged and those who aren’t alike. The realm of law is where I feel I belong and I’m eager to prove myself.
Chicago’s Cabrini-Green public housing project is notorious in the United States for being the most impoverished and crime-ridden public housing development ever established. Originally established as inexpensive housing in the 1940’s, it soon became a vast complex of unsightly concrete low and high-rise apartment structures. Originally touted as a giant step forward in the development of public housing, it quickly changed from a racially and economically diverse housing complex to a predominantly black, extremely poor ghetto. As it was left to rot, so to speak, Cabrini-Green harbored drug dealers, gangs and prostitution. It continued its downward spiral of despair until the mid 1990’s when the Federal Government assumed control the Chicago Housing Authority, the organization responsible for this abomination. Cabrini-Green has slowly been recovering from its dismal state of affairs recently, with developers building mixed-income and subsidized housing. The Chicago Housing Authority has also been demolishing the monolithic concrete high-rise slums, replacing them with public housing aimed at not repeating the mistakes of the past. Fortunately, a new era of public housing has dawned from the mistakes that were made, and the lessons that were learned from the things that went on for half a century in Cabrini-Green.

One-L, by Scott Turow, outlines the experience of attending Harvard Law School as a first year law-student. Turow weaves his experiences with those around him, and intertwines the professors of Harvard law, as well as their lectures. Initially, Turow enters Harvard law in a bit of disarray and awe. As a world of hornbooks, treatises, law-reviews, group studies, and legal terminology unfold beyond comprehension; Turow is confronted with the task of maintaining sanity. Time appears to be the most important variable, as Turow begins to study for contracts, torts, property, civil procedure, and criminal law; because time is so precious, one key-highlight for law-students is to balance family. Moreover, Turow is part of section-1, and two of his

Because the additional terms become part of the contract,In the battle of the forms, all additional terms become part of the contract unless they are promptly objected to, are material changes or are banned by the offer. Katie sent Phil a text asking him to pick up and deliver her new boots. Phil agreed but only if Katie agreed to go out on a date with him and Katie refused. These additional terms (the date) did not become part of the agreement because Katie refused Phil’s advancement.

The case presented is that of Sam Stevens who resides in an apartment. He has been working on an alarm system that makes barking sounds to scare off intruders, and has made a verbal agreement with a chain store to ship them 1,000 units. He had verbally told his landlord, Quinn, about his new invention and Quinn wished him luck. However, he recently received an eviction notice for the violation of his lease due to the fact that his new invention was too loud and interrupting the covenant of quiet of enjoyment of the neighbors and for conducting business from his apartment unit.
... education alone. The stark reality leaves much desired, success determined through unfavorable components, which my cousin never had, where you live, money, and education. Limits stop individuals from growth and career aspirations which contributed to my cousin becoming an at risk youth. Throughout my experiences, I learned that second chances could bring individuals thought lost back to the fold and be successful. My hope is that law school will contribute in my drive towards social activism. Law school will help me in my continued efforts for children’s success. Furthermore, my guidance, of course extends to people who face similar circumstances such as my cousin. Society stigmatized the indigent, cycles formed, and members of the family remains entrenched with their future remaining uncertain. I want to serve communities in overcoming the limits set by society.

My wish to apply to the 2-Year JD Program for International Attorneys at University of Richmond School of Law is rooted in my desire to exceed in the global legal profession.

I am a believer and have the commitment to fighting for poverty reduction through legislation, policy, and investments. While I have participated in many international projects, from helping to improve the
Today I focused on developing myself professionally by attending a workshop on 10 ways to be an effective advocate in Norfolk, Virginia. The workshop provided advocacy tips, the organization of state government, and highlighted legislative committees, the bill process, and how a bill becomes a law. We also discussed Virginia’s state budget and we were given several resources that will aid us in advancing our research and expanding our knowledge base on advocacy. I am especially interested in this process because I want to practice on a macro level, so I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. Although the advocacy workshop was geared toward preventing child abuse in Virginia, I feel this information can be applied to any population we serve. As a
Naturally, the first aspect of the university that caught my eye was the impressive pre-law program. The University of Pennsylvania offers specialized mentoring to pre-law undergraduates, arranging for them to meet with current law school students who can share experiences and give advice on how to succeed on the roa...
Contract is the basis of all commercial transactions. A contract is a deal or a bargain from which both parties expect to benefit. The word ‘contract’ can be defined as an agreement involving two or more people that is legally binding upon the parties. The contract law in Malaysia is mainly enforced and governed by the Contracts Act 1950. Consideration is the main elements to make a legal contract. Besides, a void agreement has no legal effect. I agree that when an agreement, which was legal and enforceable when it was entered in to, may subsequently become void due to agreement without consideration or other reason. Consideration defined by Section 2(d) Contract Act 1950 “When, at the desire of the promisor, the promisee or any other person
