Law school personal statement
While working for USCIS as an immigration officer, I have enjoyed many opportunities. I
have realized that I’m experienced team player, bringing enthusiasm and energy into group
efforts with the ability to exercise sound judgment and discretion. I have researched and analyze
legal information in order to apply appropriate laws and procedures. I have the ability to
articulate information effectively both orally and in writing with people from diverse
backgrounds. I was able Identify and pursue immigration benefit fraud. I Analyzing local,
regional, and national policies and procedures related to immigration benefit fraud. I also
conducted interviews and investigations regarding potential fraud and I Prepared reports based
on my analyses that articulate findings and proposed future recommendations.
Before working for USCIS, I studied criminal Justice administration. That’s the moment I
started developing interest in the law. Hands-on experiences in the lab, field work across the
state, and lectures from leading researchers engaged my mind and caught my interest.
Graduating from my University in October 2008 in W. Virginia, studying criminal I moved to
San Diego to continue my Military career as a marine reservist and to take professional
development courses. While I developed both personally and academically. At this point, a new
door opened, one filled with opportunities, and I began contemplating the field of business in
Finance arena. After making this life altering decision the question at the forefront of my mind
was: How do I achieve this goal? When I began taking my MBA courses at a higher university in
Finance, but I was always passionate about Law, that explains the reason why I pursued an
undergraduate education in criminal Justice administration and finally got a job as an
immigration officer.
In spite of the aforementioned, there are several reasons why I wish to study law at Florida
Coastal School of law and become an Immigration Attorney. I have a fundamental belief in the
legal system and its ability to produce justice within our society. My goal is to concentrate in
immigration because of the vast knowledge I have gained adjudicating immigration petitions as
an immigration officer. In perspective, I also wish to study the law because of the academic
challenge. I love the intellectual engagement of learning and exploring different perspectives. I
know that law school will be challenging and I hope to excel as a law student. I was attracted to
Florida Coastal School of law because it is fully approved by ABA-It is an accredited institution
whose culturally diverse students graduate practice-ready through hard work and award-winning.
It’s ongoing practical training is taught by supportive and experienced full-time professors and
the school is also veterans friendly. In addition to a strong core curriculum, Florida Coastal
School of law Coastal Law has been recognized by The National Jurist magazine in its honor roll

enrollment in our Full-Time JD Program is available in the fall, spring and summer which makes
it very flexible. The learning process emphasizes not only legal theory but also practical skills
training in a diverse community of engaged thinkers which is appealing. Earning academic credit
for performing legal work and engaging in activities that allow students to apply what they’ve
learned in the classroom to real-world legal issues is another attraction. Last but not the least is
flexible scheduling making it possible for those with continuing business and family
responsibilities to meet their obligations while obtaining a legal education. As a marine war
veteran I will be delighted if I can be admitted because my goal is to continue serving the society
