| HOW TO APPLY |
| |
The application is available electronically through the LSAC and in PDF format through our website.
- Hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited
college or university prior to entering law school
- Have taken the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) within
the past five years
- Register with the Law School Data Assembly Service
(LSDAS).
In addition, you must submit:
- The completed and signed application for admission
- One letter of recommendation. A recommendation should
come from a college professor if you have graduated from college
within the past three years. If you have been out of school longer
than three years, your recommendation may come from a professional
source.
Your recommendation must be submitted through the LSDAS. The letter
of recommendation service is included in your LSDAS registration
subscription. The letter will be copied and sent along with your
LSDAS report. To use this service, follow the directions for
submitting letters outlined in the 2008-2009 LSAT/LSDAS Registration and
Information Book. Be sure to fill out and give each letter writer a letter
of recommendation form from the LSAT/LSDAS Registration and Information
Book.
- A letter of good academic and disciplinary standing from the dean (or other
official authorized to certify your records) of your undergraduate school.
Please note that the dean's certification of good academic and disciplinary standing may not be sent
through the LSDAS.
- A personal statement. We are interested particularly
in learning about your motivation and preparation for the study of
law as well as any circumstances that you believe are relevant to the
evaluation of your credentials. You may submit supplementary information
to explain any unusual circumstances with your application.
- The $60 non-refundable application fee. Only checks
or money orders payable to Suffolk University are acceptable. Current college
students who want to apply for a waiver of this fee must include a letter
from their college or university financial aid officer outlining any financial
aid awarded during college with their application. Non-students applying
for a waiver of the fee must document their request and submit it with their
application.
- Official transcripts of all collegiate, graduate
and professional study must be sent directly to the LSDAS. Once LSDAS has received transcripts
and LSAT scores, the LSDAS can generate a report when we request one.
