Every year, thousands of qualified applicants try for a small number of places in law schools. With similar grades, backgrounds, and goals, sometimes the only thing that can make you stand out is your application essay. It's the best chance you have to tip the scales in your favor.

Essays That Worked for Law Schools shows that winning essays come in a variety of styles and voices. Some are off-the-wall, some are bold, all are unique. One applicant wrote about running a day-care center. Another tells a harrowing story about driving a cab in New York City. And a third presents a convincing argument for why the world needs one more good lawyer. From the thousands submitted each year, the 40 essays in this book were considered some of the best by admissions officers at the nation's top law schools. As this collection demonstrates, you can turn almost any topic into an effective, successful essay.

Use these essays to relieve your anxiety and provide a catalyst to your own creativity.
