Ms. Smith: 申请文书essay代写
I am a former urban planner in my first year at Harvard Law School, and I am writing to apply for a position in the Environmental Law Division through the Summer Honors Program of the New York City Law Department. I am excited about the opportunity to work in your office, particularly because of conversations I had with an attorney in your division, Elizabeth Doe, and with Mike Jones, who interned in the division in 2009. I believe that my background in municipal urban planning and in the environmental arena will enable me to contribute significantly to the work of your office next summer.
Before beginning law school, I completed a master’s degree in urban planning and worked as an urban planner for the City of Newton, Mass. In Newton, I administered a complicated regulatory framework embodied in the City’s zoning ordinance, seeking to balance a generic set of rules that are structured to foster a healthy and attractive community with the particular needs and wants of individuals in that community. I believe that my experience with municipal land use regulation will serve as good preparation for the complex challenges facing the law department of a large, diverse city like New York. Similarly,through my graduate studies in urban planning, I gained insight on urban growth and development that will prove valuable when addressing questions of environmental law on behalf of New York City.
My work as an urban planner and my earlier work an environmental consultant for the U.S. 申请文书essay代写
EPA Brownfields Program led me to appreciate the importance of the complex interaction of federal, state and local law. I decided to attend law school because I believe that the law is a critical tool for addressing problems facing our natural and built environments and for maintaining a high quality of life for the people that depend on these environments. I believe that work in the Environmental Law Division would enable me to integrate and build on my background and the skills and knowledge I am acquiring in law school.
Finally, my family hails from New York (Queens), and I have immersed myself in the history, geography and policies of the City of New York since I began visiting as a child. I would be very excited to contribute to and to learn from the work of the Law Department next summer, especially given the many environmental initiatives the City has embraced in recent years. 申请文书essay代写
