ChillGazelle Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) I'm applying to philosophy MA programs. I got my BA in philosophy in 2005, and my JD in 2011. I have not written on philosophy since college, and have not retained any old college papers. I've been practicing appellate law (very research and writing intensive) for the past 5 years. Some schools say to submit my best writing, regardless of subject matter. Others say to submit a philosophical writing sample. Will a good legal writing sample give me a shot, or will it be disregarded? Edited December 22, 2017 by ChillGazelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kray Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 CG, good question - I'm in the same boat. Law school a few years ago and now applying for a history PhD. All my writing samples are either law journal publications or opinions. I honestly don't have anything else but am a bit concerned that this might not be the best idea?
