The admission process at Tulane Law School depends on a full review of each application.  For applicants to the JD program, this means that in addition to looking closely at the standard predictors of success in law school – the LSAT score and undergraduate academic record – Tulane gives significant weight to each candidate’s personal statement, letters of recommendation and previous accomplishments.  Similarly, for applicants to the LLM and SJD programs, this means that the law school record is very important, along with each applicant's personal statement and letters of recommendation written on the applicant's behalf and, for international candidates, evidence of facility with the English language.

While the admission and financial aid processes are separate, they do proceed in parallel. For that reason should not wait for an admission decision before applying for financial aid, but should begin both processes at the same time.

Application Materials
Applications for the JD, LLM, and SJD programs may be accessed and submitted on-line, through the electronic application service of the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), www.lsac.org.   

In addition, pdf versions of the application materials for the JD, LLM, and SJD programs are available on the Tulane Law School web site.  The pdf versions may be completed on line and then printed out and mailed.  We recommend using Adobe (Acrobat) Reader Version 8, which you may download here.  Alternatively, the blank application forms may be printed first, and then completed and mailed. 

To access the application materials from this web site, simply click on APPLY, here or at the bottom of any page of this web site.  This will take you to a page where you can download the pdf versions or link to the LSAC's electronic application service.
