PS
Applicants must prepare a double-spaced personal statement on any subject of importance that he or she feels will assist the Admissions Committee in its decision. There is no minimum/maximum length.
CV
Applicants should submit a resume describing:
Schools attended, dates of attendance and degree(s) awarded;
Work experience, including employer, position, nature of work and dates of employment;
Extracurricular/community activities, including nature and length of involvement; and
Scholastic honors including academic awards, scholarships or fellowships.
Fee
Applicants who submit their application form online through LSAC must submit the Law Center's nonrefundable $85 application fee by credit card at the time they apply.
RL
Georgetown Law requires only one letter of recommendation or evaluation to apply to the J.D. program. Additional letters or evaluations will be accepted. If possible, recommendations/evaluations should be completed by faculty members with personal knowledge of the applicant's academic work. Recommendations/evaluations from employers are also acceptable. We recommend that letters be submitted through the LSAC Letter of Recommendation Service, included with your CAS Registration subscription. Individual letters may, however, be sent directly to Georgetown Law.
If you would like the Committee to consider additional recommendations before rendering a decision, complete the "hold request" section of the application. If you have already submitted your application, you are welcome to email us at lawadmis@georgetown.edu to request that the Committee hold your application until any additional recommendation(s) are received. Please include the name(s) of your recommender(s) and/or evaluator(s).
Transcript
All applicants must register with Credential Assembly Service (CAS). A transcript from each undergraduate, graduate, professional, and law school attended must then be sent to LSAC directly from each institution you attended in the United States, its territories, or Canada--not to Georgetown Law. Candidates who have received their undergraduate degree from an institution outside the United States must have their credentials sent to LSAC to be analyzed by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.
