Summary: For those who dont know where to start
Comment: If you are like me and had no clue where to begin writing a personal essay (the personal ones are always the hardest, this book offers a step by step outline of how to brainstorm subjects and how to organize your thoughts, write and outline and eventually the essay(s).
I really needed this because I, like you, will have to write a number of essays, depending on how many schools we are applying to. I have all these ideas and life experiences, but did not know how to organize them, let alone write anything coherent! This book helped me tremendously with organization and perspective and put me on a path to writing 4 sucessful essays.

Summary: OK, but new edition of "Essays That Worked" is better
Comment: The new edition of "Essays That Worked for Law Schools" by Curry and Baer is more up-to-date and has better essays, I thought.

Summary: A good strategy guide
Comment: This book profiles several different slants on submitting an effective law school essay. Read them all and decide which one will work best for you.
Most of the essays read like glorified pages from the "Fearures" or "Special" section of any major metropolitan newspaper. That is, they mostly offer tales of woe, struggle, challenge and personal goals with the reader asked to provide the ultimate happy ending - admission!
Whatever tear-jerking tact you wish to take in your essay, be it poverty, race, sexuality or politics to name a few, be sure to omit any references to conservatism, the christian religion or questionable politics. The admissions committe frowns on this and typically favors "enlightened" (read:liberal) perspectives, and it would be best if you kept it this way and saved your integrity for after graduation. I can't beleive I just wrote that, but it's true. Baring your soul can be risky at this stage of the game, so be careful.
Oh, and in case you're wondering: being a recent white immigrant is a nice touch, but alas, as you are still white, you probably won't get much mileage out of the "minority plea for admission" tactic. This line doesn't fly very far for white females, either, so you'd better have something else to sell. Sorry.
Maybe you'll agree with most or all of the views and perspectives in these essays, maybe not. Just remember that the admissons essay is not just a simple essay, and you must use careful judgement when crafting this very important piece of sales material.
