Nisha’s Answer

My motivation in law school stemmed from a burning desire to create a better life for myself and my family. As the oldest child, I was acutely aware of the responsibility I carried, knowing that my younger siblings were looking up to me. This made me determined to set a shining example for them. Since my early childhood, I dreamt of becoming a lawyer, and realizing this lifelong dream fueled my passion and drive throughout my educational journey.

Growing up in a less-than-glamorous neighborhood taught me resilience and motivated me to rise above my circumstances. I didn't want to simply be a product of my environment; instead, I was determined to pave my own path toward success – and inspire others like me to do the same. My journey has reinforced the belief that it doesn't matter where you come from; with unwavering determination and hard work, you can achieve your dreams and make a true difference in the world.

Justine’s Answer

During my law school studies, my primary motivation was studying hard, getting good grades, and preparing myself to pass the bar exam. You can't be a lawyer without all that! But as far as motivation to go to law school, I came to law school after obtaining a minor in Ethnic Studies in undergrad and wanting to ultimately focus my practice in public interest / non-profit work. Through the course of law studies, I identified other interests as well, ones I couldn't have known about before studying law (I liked litigation and dispute resolution). I also did some interning opportunities in public interest and decided it wasn't really for me. That's all to say - you can have some idea, or no idea, what you ultimately want to do after law school. Just an inkling that you might like the practice of law is a great start, and your studies and experiences will lead you in the right direction. Best of luck!

Hi Faith,
My motivation was getting a law degree was that I had worked so hard for that I felt like I had done something great for myself and those around me. I wanted to get the ground work in law completed. I also thought how I could do pro bono work for those in need. Freedom in my career was also a consideration.
