Once you know who will write positive LORs for you, then submit their information to CAS and they will be send an email with directions to follow to submit their recommendation electronically. For those professors who prefer to mail a letter, there is also a LOR form or cover sheet with a barcode that can be found on your CAS account that you will need to download and give to those recommenders.
All recommendations need to be sent directly to the LSAC by the recommenders and not by the applicant. It is important to note that in CAS you will need to determine which letters should be sent to which law schools especially if a law school only requests two letters, then you get to choose the two out of the three available.
Applicants need to hold themselves to a high ethical code and avoid falsifying any information on their law school application. If a law school determines that you have attempted to do so, the consequences can include rescinding an acceptance to their school or in the future your law degree. Applicants need to give full disclosure on their application on anything from an alcohol violation as a freshman to any misdemeanor or felony offenses.
Many violations are not something that would prevent a student from being admitted to a law school. However, if an applicant fails to disclose a violation and the law school finds out, then they will most likely not consider your application. If you find out that you were put on the wait list for a law school, this is not a bad situation. You can contact the law school and ask how far down you are on the wait list and when they will be making their final decisions.
Most law schools have a ranking on their wait list. By finding out where you are on this list you can determine your chances and weigh your options. However, please note that each law school may have their own policy about how much they tell an applicant about the details of their wait list. Once you have been accepted to a law school, you will most likely be asked to pay a seat deposit to reserve your space in the incoming class.
This deposit will later be credited to your first year tuition. By paying the seat deposit you are letting the law school know that you are accepting their admission offer and will be part of their incoming class. Most law schools request that the seat deposits be paid by April 1st. Try to rank order your preferred law school choices while you are waiting on your acceptance letters so that you can make an informed decision.
Before submitting your seat deposit, make sure you know if it is refundable, how much is refundable and if there is a deadline date for a refund of your deposit. If you decide not to attend a particular school after you have submitted your seat deposit, that money may be forfeited to the school depending upon their policy. Undergraduate Programs.
