No matter how much work you put into the essay, you are going to have blind spots. The more work you put into it, the harder it will be to recognize these blind spots since you will be so invested in it, even if you edit your draft multiple times. To ensure the highest quality product, it makes the most sense to get help. There are two ways to do it.

Get Someone You Know (Who Is Qualified)

Yes, having family and friends reviewing your essay can help. They may catch something you may miss, and sometimes, it is good to have the opinion of an "outsider" who has no preconceived notions of what works and what does not. But just like software will not cover all your grammar bases, friends and family will not provide the best review.

Why? Because they just do not know.

Do they know law school essays are not supposed to be written like law briefs? Do they know what distinguishes good writing from great writing? Do they know if you have provided effective details? At times, yes, but they will rarely catch everything. And sometimes, only someone with experience who can rely both on knowledge and a developed gut feeling can provide you the best insight possible.

In a perfect world, ideally, you would ask someone you know who has experience examining law school essays for help, but if not, you could also ask:

·      Professors. Especially those who work with lawyers.

·      Editors and Writers. They will know what makes a compelling story.

·      Journalists. For the same reason as editors and writers.

·      English Majors. They will know how to write.

·      Marketers. While they will not know the specifics about law school, they can tell you if you are presenting yourself and getting your message across.

However, if you are looking for the absolute best outside help you can seek, you should hire a professional.
