I don't think that's a bad thing at all and I have seen tons of personal statements where people don't bring up the specific kind of law they want to practice. While I personally have an idea of practice areas I'm interested in, I still opted to not include or focus my personal statement on that. Now, I would not advise you to explicitly say, "I don't know what I want to do." But I think a good route to explore is focusing on how an experience(s) helped refine certain skills that are valuable in the legal field or how they helped broadly solidify your "why law."

Do you have any tips on how to write a compelling personal statement that emphasizes your commitment to a certain area of law you would like to pursue, or are currently pursuing, without it sounding like a resume rehash?
