I hear two differing perspectives, generally, on "Why Law" Essays - that they should either build on something in your resume, or that they should share a story that can't be gleaned from your resume. What do you think is the right approach here? Somewhere in between?

@JacobBaska I apologize for hijacking this thread to ask this. I was a US Senate Page in high school and I keep going back and forth on including it. I've had a lot of work experience since that time, so it isn't really about "filling up my resume," I'm just curious about what your thoughts are on including vs leaving this experience off the resume? Thank you!

I am interested! Taking the LSAT for the first time on February 6th and trying to squeeze as much as possible into these last 2 weeks.
