[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 193231, member: 36777"] Hey [USER=32082]@kokoprep[/USER] for this type of question I think what ultimately matters is (i) for your interest in the topic to be genuine and (ii) to ensure you explain it in a very clear and structured manner. For (i) you have a lot of discretion as to the topic of choice, and I believe it is completely fine to mention a law-related one if that is indeed what you would be most passionate in writing about. To ensure it meets the 'genuine interest' criterion, it has to be a topic you would love to speak about or explore at length in your free time even if there was no further benefit arising form this (whether academically or professionally) - something you find intrinsically worthwhile. If that is the case, I don't think you should avoid it just so as to "show personality" - if well written it will showcase your personality anyway, and presumably you also have opportunities to mention extracurriculars and personal interest in other sections on the application form. However, ensure that the content does not overlap with your 'why law' answer, and focus a lot on expressing the reasons why the topic has managed to capture your interest in this way. [/QUOTE]
