Follow your interests and not those of others. Law school should be a real choice. You must contact each law school to request an application. A complete application normally includes letters of recommendation , a personal statement of some type and certain other information on the applicant. Timing Individual school applications are available early in the fall of the year prior to expected entrance.
Schools vary on the importance of early application.
Generally, it is considered wise to get the application completed long before the school's deadline. Applications completed in November or December give you time to correct mistakes or reorder lost transcripts, etc. Allow for time for the application to be complete, then check on it to see if, in fact, all materials have arrived. Send your schools a letter requesting a status check on your application. Include a stamped, addressed postcard which will be sent back to you.
