Photocopies of academic records will not be accepted unless they have been certified true after the copies have been made. Any translated record should be a literal translation and not an interpretive translation. Applicants are also required to include a copy of the original language document. An official copy of the test report must be sent by the testing service directly to the Law School Office of Admission and Financial Aid. There is a fee for the examination.
Letters of recommendation are optional but strongly recommended.
Letters should address an applicant's academic performance and potential. A law student wishing to attend Drake as a visiting student must complete an application and provide a letter from the dean of the law school at which he or she is a degree candidate certifying that the student is in good academic standing and eligible to re-enroll. A visiting student must have the permission of his or her dean to enroll in any classes offered at Drake Law School and may enroll only in those courses that have received prior approval. Transfer Applicants Candidates wishing to transfer from another accredited law school should follow the procedure listed for new applicants. In addition, transfer applicants must provide transcripts showing the grades of all law work attempted, a class rank and a letter from the dean of the last law school attended certifying that the student is in good academic standing and eligible to re-enroll.
