I don't know about law, but in general, the personal statement is really easy.

Write about why you are a good fit for the course.

I haven't done too much tbh. I did a week of work experience in a firm that specialised in stuff like corporate, and commercial property law. I've read a few books on law, and i've got a few more that I want to read before summer is over. My EPQ was on whether AI replacing judges could eradicate subjectivity in the courtroom. I've also attended a few virtual work experiences and went to a Cambridge masterclass on law too. I don't know if ill mention all of this though ahaha, wbu?

Listen to some BBC Law in Action podcasts - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006tgy1/episodes/player
Good to use as brief examples of Law topics that interest you - remember to explain why they interest you, or that this particular take on the issue interests you.
