Each applicant must submit with the application form (a) an official copy of the applicant's most recent law school transcript (or for first-year law students, a statement from their law school certifying that they are law degree candidates enrolled at least half-time); (b) a resume; and (c) two letters of recommendation from persons not related to the applicant.

Due to the high volume of applications, it is administratively prohibitive to provide acknowledgement/receipt of application. We suggest that applicants that need a receipt of application use a delivery method that provides confirmation or a tracking number.
