J.D. Admissions

Applying to law school is an exciting - and challenging endeavor. There is a lot to do, and a lot of information to absorb. Please contact our admissions office if you need any help with the process.

You may submit your application starting in mid September of each year. Our priority deadline is February 1. Our early action deadline is November 1. We have a rolling admissions process so we encourage you to apply early. As a first year student, you are only eligible to enter law school in the fall semester. Apply online now or submit a paper application (PDF).

We accept applicants on the basis of their

• college records
• LSAT score
• information contained in the application forms
• personal statements
• optional letters of recommendation
• and any other information provided

However, we attempt to avoid taking a mechanical approach to admissions. We look for non quantitative data such as life experience, the selection of academic courses, improvement in the undergraduate academic program, graduate work, employment in law-related fields, maturity, and a variety of other factors. It is the function of our Admissions Committee to uncover students who show the capacity to become good lawyers.
