Personal statement 个人陈述留学文书Personal Statement A desirable career should be the one where people lay their passions and interests, and meanwhile this career should be able to widen their visions, enrich their lives and ultimately fulfill their aspirations to realize life values. The legal profession, I reckon, is the ideal career in line with all my life pursuit. Currently, with my undergraduate study approaching the end, I would like to apply for further study in your LL.M. program to enrich my knowledge base and build up my critical thinking skills to prepare myself to launch a successful legal career. My undergraduate study in Minzu University of China has proved to be fruitful and colorful. As a self-motivated student, I have spared no pains to equip myself with specialist knowledge and practical skills. Thanks to my unremitting efforts, I have built a firm academic grounding about jurisprudence, criminal law, civil law, commercial law and etc, and scored an exemplary average score of 89.5%, ranking me the first in the whole grade comprised of about 100 students. Moreover, by frequently attending the moot courts and drafting a range of legal documents, I significantly harnessed my verbal and writing skills, and gradually sharpened my insight into Chinas judicial system. Furthermore, I have double majored in English, and thereby greatly improved my English proficiency, which enabled me to effectively acquire the knowledge pertaining to international economic law, international law, international private law, and so forth, and thereby consolidated my resolution to pursue further study in a programme which is delivered in English. Besides my endeavors to solidify academic knowledge, I have thrown myself into a stream of research projects. Among those examples I could cite would be my experience in carrying out the national-level undergraduate innovation training programme titled Fire Protection Regulations of Villages of the Miao Nationality-a Case Study about Xijiang Village Leishan County Guizhou Province. Starting from conducting investigations and interviewing residents in that village, our team collected plentiful data, and studied the pros and cons of current regulations. After consulting professional literatures and seeking advices from scholars& experts, we proposed our suggestions about improving current regulations to better protect villagers lives and properties. In recognition of the practical value of our research, our project was awarded as the Excellent Project, and our research paper will soon be published in the 2nd Issue of Journal of Original Ecological National Culture. By undertaking those researches, for one thing, I have largely broadened my intellectual horizon; for another, I enhanced my skills in data collection, analysis and interpretation of results to conduct productive researches, which, in my opinion, will pave the way for my following postgraduate study. With a view to gaining valuable job skills, I once served as an assistant in the Legal Service Center of university, and assisted to provide voluntary legal aid to social vulnerable groups covering the issues like questions answering, legal instruments writing, lawsuits agency, and etc. More than that, I have managed to work in Liangshan Intermediate Peoples Court. During the process, I involved myself in legal instruments management, court records keeping and execution of cases. By doing so, I got a glimpse of the overall process in handling Chinas legal disputes from organization appellate records to initiate prosecutions, and through to the execution of cases. Valuable practical experiences not only enhanced my logical& analytical thinking skills, but granted me personal experience about tackling economic and civil disputes. More importantly, I was allowed to closely contact with high-caliber legal professionals, and their impressive professionalism, enthusiasm and dedication moved me deeply, which reinforced my determination to pursue a career in the legal profession as my lifelong commitment, and inspired me to work harder and harder to grow into a capable legal practitioner just like them. As a top law school with time-honored reputation for nurturing first-class legal practitioners, the School of Transnational Law, Peking University has been appealing to me ever since. With courses delivered by highly qualified academics rich in research and applied experience, your school will provide a well-balanced, highly informed and supportive environment to endow me with seasoned knowledge and intellectual base necessary for working at the forefront of the judicial circles. Furthermore, your esteemed university enjoys a robust global network of alumni, and will enable me to interact with like-minded peers hailing from around the world to appreciate various thinking modes and establish my stimulating business networks, which, I think, will be a major plus for my future career development. In the future, armed with solid academic foundations about Chinas legal system and international law as well as an international perspective, I expect to grow into an eligible lawyer and devote myself to settling disputes for clients from across the globe. Further study in your university will add wings to the realization of my career goal, and I sincerely look forward to commencing the next stage of my educational journey in your superior and inspiring environment.
