As a service to Emory students and alumni, The Career Center offers a credentials service for students applying to law schools. The Career Center accepts letters submitted on behalf of students, reproduces them and distributes them at the student's request to designated schools.
Informative letters are helpful at all schools and are vital at the more prestigious ones.
You should, therefore, give careful consideration to the selection of your faculty evaluators. Law schools greatly prefer that evaluations be written by professors who are sufficiently familiar with your academic work to enable them to write detailed letters. If you wish to ask an administrative official or an employer to write one of your letters you may do so, but make certain that two are by persons who have taught you. At least one letter should be written by a faculty member from your major. The forms on which evaluation letters should be written are available at the prelaw preparation meeting for Juniors held each year in March and at The Career Center.
