The plurality of advice seems to say not to title it, however I was not raised so poorly that I could fail to title an essay.
In my opinion it is a matter of necessity to title all essays if not out of professionalism, then out of humanity.
It also gives the reader a clear main point to crystalize in their mind.
Even if it is(for some unimaginable reason) a disadvantage in law school applications to title your work, you should anyway. There are more important things than what school you get into. Everyone must draw an ethical line somewhere and this is mine. I wouldn't cheat to get into a law school, I wouldn't bribe someone to get into a law school, I won't hire someone to help with my application which I consider a deeply unethical way of buying an outcome(no offense to the enablers in 7sage's admissions help), and finally, I will not skip titling an essay.
I say some of this partially in jest, but it is also all completely true.
lol yeah it does seem a bit barbaric/unnecessary to not title.

You’ll need a header (with your name, LSAC number, and “Personal Statement 1 (page number)”), but I don’t think you should have a special title for your statement.
Got it, I'm a bit confused about this:
So would it be Personal Statement 1 on the first page and Personal Statement 2 on the second?
7Sage Admission Course has a format sample on this page:
https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/lesson/how-to-format-your-law-school-personal-statement/
You can download a Word docx file!
Google "personal statement header law school"
Smith, John 1
LSAC Account #:
Personal Statement
Hit insert page number on the header so that each page has its own page number...as you would in your high school and college papers...
