Admissions Question: September 2
Q: When can I apply to Lewis & Clark Law School?
A: Now! Our application opens online on September 1st. Like most law schools, Lewis & Clark only allows new students to start in the fall, so the best time to apply is in the fall the year before you wish to attend. Lewis & Clark starts taking applications on October 1. The time you apply is important, but even more important is to get your application complete in a timely manner – that means that all required items are received by the law school. Files are not read before all materials are in, and getting your file complete by the end of the year is the safest. (Note that schools with early action or decision will have earlier application periods and deadlines.)
Law School Admissions is located in Gantenbein on the Law Campus.
