Admissions committees are looking for meaningful letters from individuals who know you well, and can assess your qualifications with objectivity and insight. However, law schools also seek qualitative information to assess whether you are the kind of person who possesses the qualities desired by the profession.
Most law schools ask for two or three recommendations from academic or professional contacts.
You should find people who truly know you and are able to make an honest assessment of your capabilities. It is important to your success as an applicant that you think about letters of recommendation well ahead of time. Each and every professor from whom you take a class is a potential letter writer. However, if they know you only as a face in a large lecture course or someone who comes into their office once or twice during the semester, they may find it difficult to write a strong and meaningful letter of recommendation. Throughout your undergraduate college career, you need to initiate and maintain contact.
