Abstract
This paper offers a marketing plan for the Mini Law School, noting that the issue facing the Mini Law School is that its current marketing approach is not attracting enough students and so does not enable the owners to achieve their target of 100 students per session. Enrollment has averaged less than half the desired number for the three sessions held to date. An analysis of the marketing scheme and the problems seen with different aspects of that marketing program suggests where some changes might be made.

From the Paper
"Concerns have been raised especially about the advertising that has been done, whether it is effective and whether it is placed in the best locations to reach potential students. The value of the website has also been questioned, along with a concern about the design of the site and whether new features should be added. Another consideration is the cost, for many of the possible moves that could be made would also add to the costs for the owners and would have to be justified by..."

Abstract
The paper is personal account of one person's battle with bi-polar disorder and his desire to combat the disorder without the use of medication. The paper's writer describes his struggle with the disorder and his eventual success. The paper was presented as an admissions essay for law school.

From the Paper
"Though I must admit, to most, this self-inflicted mental rehabilitation sounds more insane than the actual disorder, and there were several occasions where I thought someone else would be calling my mother to give her a final update on my condition, the end result was everything I hoped for and more. I still suffer bouts of depression and mania, but they do not impede my daily life; a few minor lifestyle adjustments in addition to what I learned those three months in Virginia turned debilitating mood swings into minor inconveniences. And I still here voices and noises if I am exhausted, but they have no more affect on me, as would a radio played in the background. Most importantly, I am no longer ashamed of my condition. I openly tell new friends and acquaintances so that they understand why on some days I am a cliche social butterfly and on others I am more reserved and introverted, or why on some nights I will be the last to bed and on others I am the first. I cannot honestly say I am glad to have gone through something like this, I would rather feel the way I did before the disorder's emergence. I can honestly say that I know now that no accomplishment is outside my grasp, and that adversity is best used as a motivation to achieve rather than as an excuse to fail.

Abstract
This paper presents a personal statement of a student who is seeking admission to law school. The writer presents his opinion of the responsibility of accepting a scholarship and how the recipient must live up to the name of the institution that awards the scholarship. The writer also presents his general opinion on scholarships and who they should benefit.

From the Paper
"Besides donating as much as possible to the scholarship funds that supported them, recipients also have a responsibility to serve that fund by volunteering for special events, interviewing future applicants, or participating in any external organizations that the fund supports. Another way recipients can show their gratitude is by performing service for the law school itself. Volunteering when possible, becoming active members of clubs, groups, and committees, and helping fellow students are some of the ways scholarship recipients can actively display their appreciation."

"This opportunity to finally put my abilities as a lawyer to the test was pivotal for me. Although I had never prepared a case for a real trial before, I was excited and optimistic. By examining every aspect of the case's documentation, gaining full insight into Russian taxation legislation, and applying my logical reasoning and judgement, I was able to prepare a strong argument supported by the statutes to prove that the actions of the Revenue Board were in fact unlawful."

"I was born in Sendai (Miyagi prefecture), one of the biggest cities in Japan. According to the Sendai City official homepage, the city had population of 1,008,130 in 2006. A few months after my birth, I was sent to my grandparents in Kouriyama (Fukushima prefecture). This was due to the fact that my father was busy and had to devote all his time to studying for the national bar exam; while my mother was working to support him. Kouriyama is also a large city with a population of 189,710. I returned to my parents at the age of one, after my mother decided to leave her current job and our family moved to Takahata, Yamagata, to assist in the family business."

From the Paper
"Krylov&Company is a young law firm with a bright future. As one might expect, lawyers specialize in various areas, but the ones with whom I came into contact are consumed by a zeal to help others and by a worthy compulsion to ensure that ordinary citizens are apprised of their rights. During the time I spent at Krylov & Company, I saw the hard work that accompanies a career in the law, but I also saw the sense of satisfaction that attends helping someone who would otherwise be vulnerable to exploitation. It was this hyperactive, competitive and sometimes enthralling environment that convinced me that I wanted to be a lawyer."

Abstract
This paper examines the 'cheating' scandal at the University of Toronto Law School in the spring of 2001. In fact, the students did not cheat they lied about their marks on December exams during interviews for summer jobs.

Abstract
This paper examines and analyzes the case brought against the admissions policy of the University of Michigan Law School. The paper explains the district court decision that the Law School was breaking the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with its affirmative action policies. The paper also discusses the defendant's and plaintiff's argument in the case, precedence considered in the case and dissenting opinion.

From the Paper
"According to the appeal submitted by the defendant Extensive trial testimony presented by the students on the current experience in California shows that if the Regents are stripped of this power, the University of Michigan Law School will resegregate. In 1995, the University of California (UC) Regents voted to eradicate their longstanding affirmative action policies. The results were clear and devastating - minority admissions to the best-regarded schools plummeted; inequality in educational opportunity between white students and minority students increased as the UC system split into two separate and uneven tracks; prejudice on campus grew. Earlier this year, the UC Regents, admitting the failure of their ill-conceived social experiment, collectively voted to lift the ban on affirmative action programs throughout the UC System. the plaintiff asked to graft the same intensification of inequality that has been reject in California onto the Fourteenth Amendment-to make a permanent constitutional provision."

From the Paper
"Many school districts, in California and elsewhere, have their own human resources departments. The Rio Linda Union School District, however, has no human resources department. That, according to Betty Barker, Assistant Superintendent of Personnel for Rio Linda Union School District (Interview, October 17, 2005) is one fact that distinguishes the district from other districts, and left over from the days before some schools began moving toward decentralization."
