Application Process

Admission is on a rolling basis. Our earliest decision letters will be mailed in December.

It is strongly recommended that you apply much earlier than our application deadline as review of files begins long before then.  We also recommend you take the LSAT no later than December. Highly qualified applicants from the February and June tests may be considered, but competition becomes greater the later one applies.
