I understand that highlighting a "commitment to service" can come across as gimmicky or fall flat with admissions officers, but if service in the form of pro bono work, etc. to aid specific groups in specific areas of law functions as a primary motivation for attending law school (and is backed up by experiences and letters of recommendation), is it okay to make this commitment a focal point of the statement?
hey 7sage, these are great. Really helped me get a better grip as to what was missing from my first draft. Dk these were a part of the curriculum until now (6 months since when i started), but glad i found em as we get into crunch time.

Very helpful, thank you!
fyi, near the bottom of the page, it says "explain why you want to go this law school in particular." it should probably be "...want to go to this..."
