Problem: Article: If you're only citing a single contribution to an edited volume with multiple authors, rather than the volume itself, list the name of the author of that contribution as the author. Type the author's last name first, followed by their first and middle initials. Separate multiple authors with commas, putting an ampersand before the name of the final author. Single-author example: "Smith, R." Multiple-author example: "Smith, R., Henderson, P. H., & Truman, I. G." The publication year is the date the book was published, even if the chapter or article you are citing was previously published somewhere else. Type a space after the period following the last author's initial, open parentheses, type the year, then close your parentheses and add another period. Example: "Smith, R. (1995)." Type a space and then include the title of the specific article or chapter you're citing. Use sentence-case, capitalizing only the first word and any proper nouns. Put a period at the end of the title. Example: "Smith, R. (1995). A new story dawns. The next part of your citation will be a bit like you were citing the book directly, and then copied that citation into your citation of the article or chapter. Start with the editor's name, then provide the title of the book in italics, using sentence-case. Do not place a period at the end of the book's title. Example: "Smith, R. (1995). A new story dawns. Janeway, J. L. (Ed.) Dreaming of other worlds" For multiple editors, follow the same rules as you would with multiple authors. Immediately after the title of the book, type a space and then open parentheses. Use the abbreviation "pp." and type the range of pages where the chapter or article appears in the book. Example: "Smith, R. (1995). A new story dawns. Janeway, J. L. (Ed.) Dreaming of other worlds (pp. 44-52)." If there are multiple editions, include the edition number in the same parentheses as the page numbers. For example: "Smith, R. (1995). A new story dawns. Janeway, J. L. (Ed.) Dreaming of other worlds (2nd ed., pp. 44-52)." If the book was published in the US, include the name of the city and postal abbreviation for the state, separated by a comma. For books published outside the US, include the name of the city and the name of the country, again separated by a comma. Follow the location with a colon, then type the name of the company that published the book. End your citation with a period. Example: "Smith, R. (1995). A new story dawns. Janeway, J. L. (Ed.) Dreaming of other worlds (pp. 44-52). New York: Independent Press."
Summary: Start with the author of the article or chapter you're citing. List the year of publication in parentheses. Write the title of the chapter. Provide information about the book itself. Specify the pages where the chapter or article appears. Close with the location and name of the publisher.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: International law is a highly-competitive field. Attorneys who practice in this area often work for international organizations, such as the United Nations or the World Bank. Alternately, international lawyers can work for large firms on cross-border deals involving corporations in different countries. These kind of jobs are difficult to get. Even if you graduate law school and pass the bar, you very well might not be able to get one of these jobs. Competition to get a job with an international non-governmental organization (NGO) will be fierce. There are very few international human rights jobs, period. In fact, breaking into this field is extremely challenging. Furthermore, most cross-border deals are done by large law firms, which are the most selective. You are expected to be near the top of your class and to have graduated from a selective law school in order to be hired at international law firms. Against your job prospects you also should weigh how you will finance your legal education. The cost of a legal education has exploded in the past decade. Students routinely pay over $30,000 a year in tuition alone, which does not include additional costs for living expenses. If you are not careful, you could graduate law school $200,000 in debt. CAS is used by all law schools. You send them your transcripts, letters of recommendation, and evaluation; they create a packet and send it to the law school. The service requires a fee. Register early and make sure to get your transcripts to CAS in a timely manner. Now is the time to draw on the relationships you have built up with faculty during your undergraduate career. Ask your professors if they can write you a strong letter of recommendation. Only follow through if that professor says "yes." If you didn't build strong relationships with faculty, don't despair. You can also ask for recommendations from present and past employers, as well as from people associated with church or volunteer organizations. Some recommenders may need to be prompted to complete the letter. Send a friendly email reminder, or stop in to chat. Law schools require that you write a short statement, typically on a topic of your choosing. The statement is usually only 500 words. Follow the directions. If the school wants you to write on a specific topic, write on that topic. Also, if they give you a word limit, stick to the limit. Going over, by even a few words, can harm your chances of admission. Feel free to write about your interest in international law. You may want to write about your experience studying abroad. Whatever you write about, make sure that it is fresh, engaging, and memorable. You also should feel free to write about any subject that you want. You do not have to explain why you want to be a lawyer (unless the prompt specifies that you should write about that subject). An addendum can be a great way to explain something that looks bad in your application. A solid addendum will provide context for any information that might raise "red flags." Red flags include criminal convictions, punishment for cheating or plagiarism, or semesters with very low grades. An addendum might also clarify why one LSAT score is much higher than another. Remember to explain in your addendum, not make excuses.
Summary:
Decide if being an international law attorney is really for you. Register with the Credential Assembly Service (CAS). Solicit letters of recommendation. Draft a personal statement. Think about writing an addendum.
