Personal Statements

Hey guys!
So I am going to begin writing up my personal statements, however I have no idea where to start. I am applying to Canadian law schools and I am not sure how to start writing especially if applications are not yet open.
I understand that each law school usually has a different personal statement topic but they are all similar to some extent... Any suggestions on where to find specific topics and how to get started? I also don't want to spend any money on the personal statement bundle.. What have been some past topics?
Thanks in advance!

If you don't want to spend money, then I recommend looking at the primer that 7sage admissions offers
https://7sage.com/law-school-admissions-primer/
TLS has a guide with some examples

A few examples from successful applicants from UChicago

In regards to the topic, length, etc, you can check each school's website to find the specifics.
Hey, @jennybbbbb
Freddy's posted some very helpful links above to check out for sure. Many of the top schools have sample PSs on their websites. So definitely check some of those out. I'm also a big fan of the 7Sage primer. There are also a myriad of cheap books on Amazon by various credible admissions professionals that are well worth it. Just make sure to read the reviews and research the authors.
@"Alex Divine" @Freddy_D thank you!
@jennybbbbb No problem. Good Luck!
