你为什么想学习这个课程或学科？
从精神杀人犯到欺诈银行家，法律每天都在与各种各样的人互动并评估命运。我不仅对法律案件的独特性质感到好奇，也对塑造这些案例的环境和背景感到好奇。
例如，我觉得R v Dudley and Stephens案尤其有趣，尽管谋杀和食人是非法的，但他们的刑罚未被减轻似乎值得怀疑，因为他们的行为源于极端必要性和显而易见的逻辑。
我最近参加了哈钦森-福斯特在斯奈尔斯布鲁克刑事法庭的审判，这场审判特别引起了我的兴趣，因为我对马克·达根被枪击事件及其引发的骚乱充满兴趣。这次经历让我明白了法庭上的可信度有多重要，因为一旦有人承认撒谎和隐瞒信息，陪审团就会怀疑所说的一切。
作为法学学位，我期待分析这些具有智力刺激性的案例，并评估法律如何被进一步调整和可能。我特别关注法律的经济方面，我写过一篇关于立法限制足球运动员工资负面影响的文章，在Catch21 Productions举办的政治竞赛中获得第一名。
你的资质和学习如何帮助你准备这门课程或科目？
作为奖励，我采访了两位议员;这段经历让我明白了撰写问题以激发生动且富有洞察力的回答的重要性，这在法律职业中尤为关键。我还为许多备受推崇的足球博客撰写文章，如 ChampionsLeague.ca 和英超谈话。
从中，我了解到事实信息在支持论点中的重要性，以及在说服听众时必须清晰简洁。Levitt和Duggan对相扑中比赛操纵的研究也激发了我对体育内部腐败的兴趣;我现在正在调查我的EPQ比赛操纵的原因。
经济学教会了我激励在促进合法行为的根本重要性，但这并不能解释为何操纵比赛仍然存在。然而，学习心理学让我明白为什么这些激励有时会失效，情感脆弱等因素或许起到了更大作用。
在我的EPQ中，我主动采访了相关记者和作者，并必须批判性地分析这些来源的有效性;学习历史显著提升了这些技能。独立阅读帮助我更好地理解了这条法律。柏林和戴尔的《法律机器》让我对法律体系有了深入了解，尤其是民事司法系统。
这让我开始怀疑，究竟有多少受害者遭遇了不公正的待遇，要么是因为没有寻求专业律师，要么根本没有参与法律程序。桑德尔的《正义》也让我看到了在追求正义时所面临的道德困境，比如酷刑是否合理，即使它可能挽救成千上万的生命。
你在教育之外还做了哪些准备工作？这些经历为什么有用？
担任学校帆船队长让我能够在体育领域展现领导力和组织能力，这对运营成功俱乐部至关重要。我还在本地乐团吹短号，目前正在准备六年级考试。去年，我在当地一所小学做了一年的班级助理志愿者，每周上午一次。
我很快学会了要仔细解释，以防止以后犯错;这段经历极大地帮助了我的沟通技巧，因为我明白需要根据不同的受众调整词汇和语气。我相信自己具备成为成功法学院学生所需的才能和素质。
通过我在学术界内外的成就，我展现了对法学学位的承诺、强烈的职业道德以及清晰有力论据的能力。我热切期待开始我的法律课程，并为更广泛的大学生活做出积极贡献。

Why do you want to study this course or subject?
From psychopathic murderers to fraudulent bankers, the law interacts and assesses the fates of a diverse range of people every day. I’m intrigued not only by the unique qualities of cases within law, but also by the circumstances and context that shape them.
For example, I find the case of R v Dudley and Stephens especially interesting, as although murder and cannibalism are illegal, it seems questionable that the severity of their sentence was not moderated, as their actions derived from extreme necessity and obvious logic.
I recently attended Hutchinson-Foster’s trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court, which was of particular interest due to my fascination with the shooting of Mark Duggan and the consequential riots. The experience showed me the importance of credibility in court, as once someone has admitted to lying and withholding information, the jury will doubt everything said.
From a law degree, I look forward to analysing such intellectually stimulating cases, and to evaluating how the law has and could be further adapted. I am particularly interested in the economic aspect of law, with an article I wrote on the detrimental effects of legislating a cap on footballers' wages winning first place in a political competition run by Catch21 Productions.
How have your qualifications and studies helped you to prepare for this course or subject?
As a reward, I was able to interview two MPs; this experience showed me the importance of drafting questions to provoke engaging and insightful responses, which is crucial in the legal profession. I have also written articles for many highly regarded football blogs such as ChampionsLeague.ca and EPL Talk.
From this, I have learnt how essential factual information is in supporting an argument, as well as the need to be clear and concise when trying to persuade an audience. Levitt and Duggan’s research into match-fixing in sumo wrestling also triggered my interest in corruption within sport; I’m now investigating the causes of match-fixing for my EPQ.
Economics has taught me the fundamental importance of incentives in promoting lawful behaviour, but this fails to explain why match-fixing continues. Studying Psychology however has shown me why these incentives sometimes fail, with other factors such as emotional vulnerability arguably playing larger roles.
For my EPQ, I have used my initiative to interview journalists and authors on the subject, and have had to critically analyse the validity of these sources; studying History has significantly enhanced these skills. Independent reading has aided my understanding of the law. ‘The Law Machine’ by Berlins and Dyer gave me an informative taste of the legal system, most notably the civil justice system.
It made me question just how many victims have been dealt injustice, either through failing to seek out specialist lawyers or by not getting involved in the law process at all. ‘Justice’ by Sandel also showed me the moral dilemmas that arise when striving to reach justice, such as whether torture is ever justified, even if it potentially saves thousands of lives.
What else have you done to prepare outside of education, and why are these experiences useful?
Being the school's sailing captain has enabled me to display my leadership and organisational skills within sport, which are key to running a successful club. I also play the cornet for a local orchestra and I am currently working towards my Grade 6 exam. Last year, I volunteered one morning a week for a year as a classroom assistant at a local primary school.
I quickly learnt the necessity of explaining things carefully to prevent future mistakes; the experience greatly assisted my communication skills, as I understood the need to adjust my vocabulary and tone for different audiences. I believe that I have the necessary aptitudes and qualities to be a successful law student.
Through my achievements both within and outside of academia, I have demonstrated a commitment to a law degree, a strong work ethic, and an ability to present clear and persuasive arguments. I eagerly anticipate starting my law course and to contributing positively to wider university life.
