Mention the magistrate's court - sounds relevant and useful to your degree. It's up to you to make it relevant though. The rest of this is a general response.

I think all personal statements are designed to give a flavour of who you are and why you wish to do your degree.
A good place to start is http://www.studential.com - they have plenty of personal statements for you to look at and get started. My one is contained in the link below:
http://www.studential.com/bio/getps.asp?...ew=subject
I'd weight about 2/3 of your personal statement on your chosen degree and the other 1/3 on your personal life. You don't need to say every little thing you've done over the past decade or so - just make sure you cover the key ones.
The key ones should have the following characteristics:
- Degree Course Interests
- Time Management
- Organisational Skills
- Teamwork
- Communication
etc... You don't have to cover everything as I've said - just make sure it's clear to admission officers that you'd be a good undergraduate and that you're passionate about your course. The rest of your ideas should come from other personal statements.
I wish you the best of luck and remember - the earlier you start the better! You can always fix it up at a later date.
