Perfecting Your Personal Statement & Resume for Law School: Nov. 10 at 4:00 in 514 Illini Union Bookstore Building. This is the final personal statement workshop of the fall semester. The personal statement and resume are a law school applicant’s opportunity to tell a school all about yourself and why you will make a great addition to their class. Students consistently say that this is the hardest part of the application, so this workshop was developed to provide some insight. It will cover: What the personal statement is; how to begin writing it; what to include and exclude; writing separate addenda; how the personal statement and resume should work together; and an overview of the law school resume.
