PARTS 2, 3, and 4 - Speech and Letter of Recommendation

PART 2 - WRITTEN SPEECH

You may choose EITHER of the below prompts to address in your speech. Your speech will be presented in both written and oral forms so that you can be assessed on three dimensions of legal practice - persuasive writing, oral advocacy, and critical research.

You are advised to be as specific as possible in your comments, to use specific examples and arguments to support your position, and to avoid the use of the first person ("I think that...").

You are encouraged to use research to enhance the quality of your speech, but all submissions must be your original work.

Prompt #1: What is the most important skill or trait a successful legal advocate could possess and why?

Prompt #2: How is an effective justice system the cornerstone of a free society?

Format: Speeches may be one minute maximum when delivered, so your written speech should be about two-thirds of a page typed and double-spaced. Please title your speech "ED LAW Admission Speech, [Your Full Name], Prompt #[1 or 2; whichever you choose]".

Upload your typed response to PART 2 - WRITTEN SPEECH. You need to upload either a MS WORD document or a PDF file to ensure that we are able to access it. :)

Please name your speech file [Last Name First Name] EDLAW Admissions *
