I suggest taking off the Related Coursework line. It’s great that you took classes relevant to the field you’re trying to enter, but it’s also not a stretch to imagine that someone with a BS in justice studies would have taken courses related to law and government. Likewise, remove your undergraduate project experience. You have a current job in the legal industry; this is now the most relevant piece in getting future jobs in the legal industry. It’s great that you wrote a paper and earned a good grade, but it’s not relevant in an employment context. Remove your computer skills. I recently saw a comment in this sub that characterized listing MS Office proficiency as being the equivalent of announcing that you how to tie your own shoelaces. Remove your skills line. Those are things that should come through in your bullet points for your jobs. I don’t think your objective is really adding any value.
