Summary

I've always had a strong desire to work in the legal industry. Throughout my academic journey I have developed a deep understanding of legal principles. The coursework I have completed has equipped me with a solid foundation in legal writing, analysis, and research, preparing me to tackle complex legal issues. My abilities to work under strict deadlines and high-pressure situations have improved greatly during my first year of Law school, proving my efficiency and adaptability skills. Starting university has allowed me to develop my skills, such as time management, writing, and communication skills.
