ACCREDITATION

Application Instructions for Fall 2013
J.D. Enrollment

The application for first-year applicants is now available and there is no application fee. Please complete and submit your application using our secure online LSAC Electronic Application.

The application deadline is March 15, 2013 (PST).
The deadline was extended two weeks in response to the LSAC Test Center Closings/Delayed Openings for the February 2013 LSAT, due to storms in the Northeast.

General Information and Admissions Standards

All applicants must submit a completed application form, official transcripts, two (2) letters of recommendation, and a valid LSAT score not more than five (5) years old.

In order to expedite the processing and review of your application, it is your responsibility as the applicant to ensure that:

1. All of your official transcripts from your post-secondary institutions are on file with LSAC;
2. A copy of your CAS Report has been requested and purchased by you through LSAC and is available to us upon our initial electronic request, and;
3. All letters of recommendation that you have on file with LSAC that you wish to use towards our two-letter requirement have been assigned to UC Irvine Law through LSAC.

The application deadline is March 15, 2013. You may submit your application prior to the receipt of your LSAT score, however we will be unable to forward your application to our Admissions Committee until your LSAC CAS Report is received. Please refer to the CAS section of the LSAC web site for additional information: www.lsac.org/jd/apply/cas.asp

In order to be eligible for Fall 2013 admission, the last opportunity for applicants to take the LSAT exam for the first time is February 2013.
