2012 Law School Application Deadlines

Jan 25th, 2012 by 0 Comments /

It’s that time of the year, guys and gals. It’s deadline season. Time to get all your ducks in a row and get everything where it needs to be. To help you out with this process, here are the deadlines for all ABA-approved law schools. Note, these deadlines were compiled from information provided by LSAC; however, it is always a good idea to double-check with the schools themselves to make sure that the deadlines haven’t been moved. If you see any errors or changes, you can let me know by commenting on the post, or sending me an email – achaconas (at) powerscore (dot) com.

Below, I’m providing you with two lists: One is sorted by school name, alphabetically, and the other is sorted by application deadline.

NOTE: A considerable number of schools–including some T14 schools–have their deadlines on February 1st and February 15th. If you haven’t gotten your apps together (and you really should have by now, if you’re considering schools of T14 caliber), then stop whatever you’re doing and get it done right now. LSAC can take up to two weeks to process your transcripts and letters of rec, and that’s after they’ve received the documents from your recommenders and schools. There is most certainly no time to be wasted (as you can tell by my enthusiastic use of italics, I’m very adamant on this point–GET IT DONE.)

Brace yourselves, kids–this is going to be one long post. Scroll down (and keep right on scrollin’) to see the entirety of both lists.
