Want to know where you’re at in the admissions process? Check out our detailed application timeline to stay in the loop.
It is recommended that you apply to law school early in the admissions cycle, as we have rolling admissions, which means that seats fill up as the year progresses.
There is a slight advantage if you apply by the fall or winter, but we will often accept applications through the summer before entry. Please refer to our list of important dates below about the law school admissions timeline.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Because getting a spot is competitive, we recommend applying by March 1.
Stay up to date on the status of your application. Check back often — our admissions team is continually reviewing applications.
