Why I Want To Pursue A Pre-Law Degree

Growing up, I’ve always liked puzzles. I admired my father’s career as a police officer because he’s constantly risking his life solving the unthinkable. Although, I do not want a career as a police officer like my father. Investigating crimes and helping those in need who are victimized is something I’m passionate about.

Also I enjoy the various jobs that Law Enforcement proposes; you get to learn something new every day. Becoming a Police Officer offers new challenges daily and there are few career fields more challenging than Law

Of course when figuring out what career you may want to pursue it is essential to inquire information from individuals who are working in that field of interest. In my case I decided to interview a longtime friend and active police officer in my hometown community. Officer Delancy from the Stuart Police Department located in Martin County, Florida. Officer Delancy has been a patrol officer for the last over twelve years and counting. As I talked with officer Delancy one question I asked him was why did he want to become an officer of the law. His reply was “I always knew I wanted to make my community a better place to live in and becoming an officer is one way I can help to do just that.” Officer Delancy felt the need to protect and serve our

Based on the ethical and professional practices of each of the branches, the law enforcement career path is most in line with my ethical beliefs and professional disposition. I feel I have a high code of ethics of what is right and wrong while it may

I can truly say receiving an acceptance offer to Howard University School of Law is such an honor and a blessing. I have dreamt of this moment many times over the past few years. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of Howard's legacy entrenched in perseverance and commitment to social justice. Since I began looking into potential options for my legal education, Howard has been at the top of my list for a multitude of reasons. As someone who attended a PWI for undergrad and as a result encountered some pretty blatant racism and discrimination, I feel that it would be so powerful to attend an institution founded to specifically empower our people and groom us to change the trajectory for future generations. Besides Howard’s ideal location in the heart of our nation’s capital, the school itself maintains a nationally recognized prestigious reputation while offering graduates unparalleled networking opportunities. I look forward to being taught by renowned scholars who look like me, and the extremely low student-faculty ratio ensures that I will have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with my professors.

Since I was a child I have always had an interest in law enforcement. A lot of my family has experience in this field including two police officers. After lengthy studies into what would be the best move for me I decided that a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice would be the best life choice for me. I will begin by enrolling in college in the fall of 2016. Looking forward to my career I am very excited about what this life holds for me.

I have currently received my associates of science degree in criminal justice from Southwest Tennessee Community College. I decided to further my education and obtain my bachelors degree in criminal justice to explore more opportunities. I believe that going back to school will help give me the tools necessary to excel as a criminal justice professional. When I was in high school criminal justice was always something I was interested in learning about. I wanted to know more about the criminal justice system and how cops, courts, and corrections operate with one another. Once I enter into the criminal justice field and begin working as a professional with my bachelors I will become more remarkable to employers. This degree will also give me

Throughout my childhood I have lived in the same town, lived in the same tattered trailer, and have never truly known comfort in the financial sense. My family has always struggled. This is part of what has motivated me to at least do something with my life. I want my family to know that monetary comfort and that my children will be able to go to the college that they want to attend and have worked their butts off to get to and not worry about paying for it. This is why I decided to continue schooling after high school.

Becoming a Police Officer has been my dream for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I always wanted to see what was going on when the flashing lights and sirens raced past my house. As I grew up, I realized I possessed a strong desire to help others and to become someone who served my community in a way that would make my family and me proud. My desire from a very young age to become a Police Officer has influenced choices and decisions I have made and contributed significantly toward shaping me into the person I am now.

I hope you are doing well! I apologize for this delayed update, but here's a quick summary of my first two semesters so far at Wake Forest :-)

My decision to go into police work has, of course, been influenced by my personality and talents as well as how those aspects of myself interact with the necessary skills for criminal justice careers. Much like we learned one needs to be able

The Discover Law at University at Buffalo Law School Scholars Program gives college students the opportunity to experience law school and also, prepare for the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). I am interested in the program because for four weeks, professors are taking time out of their summer to not only help students prepare for law school, but also the LSAT, which is an exam needed in order to be accepted into law school aside from good grades. Early onset learning and preparation for the LSAT can insure a higher score when it comes time to take the exam. Therefore, the program is highly beneficial in my process of becoming a lawyer and will stand out on my resume when applying for internships in the future. I am also interested in the program because it takes into consideration the daily struggles of a college student by offering a free summer program which is beneficial to a law student's future.

Formed in Renaissance, aimed to serve as a sharp weapon to fight against feudalism, bourgeois humanitarianism gained the essence of ancient Greek humanitarianism, acclaiming that man should pursue their own happiness and break through the restraint of religious doctrines. During the Enlightenment movement, many philosophers advocated that the pursuit of one’s interest should be controlled by law. The concept saw man as natural person free from any class, which was truly unrealistic. Because of such kind of idea, the inhumanity of the aristocrats and the miserable life of the oppressed made the author believe that it was justified for people at the bottom of the society to fight against the aristocrats for their basic rights. But when the time

Then when I was about 10 years old I started watching this law and order show, and it made me change my mind about being a cop. I wanted to be a lawyer instead. I wanted to be a lawyer because they make a lot of money if you are a good one, and they get to defend innocent people who have been found guilty.

My career objectives and aspirations include successfully graduating with honors from North Carolina State University with my bachelor’s degree, attending a prestigious law school specializing in business law and/or international law, and earning a well-paying job to match the skills I learned and developed. In preparation to attend law school and in attending law school, I aim to have the opportunity to shadow or intern a lawyer in the fields of law that I am interested in. While in law school, or upon graduating, I would love the chance to clerk for a Supreme Court justice. My decision to pursue law school is influenced by my desire to have a career that benefits society. There is a lot of confusion today on what is legal and what is not,
