Most law schools work on a rolling admissions basis.
It is to your advantage to mail your applications by Thanksgiving. But don't worry if need a little more time, just make sure that your applications are completed thoroughly and that you have allowed plenty of time to meet the law schools' deadlines. If you are applying for early admission or to a special program, be certain to double-check the date by which all your materials are due. It's hard to say. What we have found is that candidates who have applied to schools for which they are especially competitive tend to hear very early.
