The 𝑼𝑺𝑪 𝑮𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝑭𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝑱𝑫 𝑨𝒑𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 is just right around the corner! 🌟 Ready to embark on your legal journey? Here’s what you’ll need to apply:

💻 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒄 𝑨𝒑𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏
Starting 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒, the JD electronic application can be found on the Law School Admission Council’s (LSAC) website.

🗃️𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑨𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒍𝒚 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆
All applicants, whether taking the LSAT or GRE, must register for LSAC’s Credential Assembly Service. The CAS Report, provided by LSAC, contains your official transcripts, LSAT score(s), LSAT Writing sample(s), and letters of recommendation.

📚 𝑳𝑺𝑨𝑻 𝒐𝒓 𝑮𝑹𝑬 𝑺𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒔
We will not consider any LSATs taken after the February 2025 administration nor GREs taken after March 1, 2025. We consider all scores going back 5 years.

🎓𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒑𝒕𝒔
Official transcript(s) for all post-secondary education, including graduate-level coursework, must be sent directly to LSAC. LSAC will evaluate each transcript and calculate your cumulative undergraduate GPA, but not your GPA for graduate-level coursework, which will be considered subjectively.

📃 𝑳𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏
We require two letters of recommendation and will accept a maximum of three.

📝 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕
The personal statement is your primary opportunity to discuss who you are beyond the application basics. We are particularly interested in how your background (academic or otherwise) has led to your decision to study law.

💼 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒆
You are required to submit a résumé that illustrates your work history, volunteer commitments, extracurricular activities, and any awards and/or honors.

⚠️APPLICATIONS OPEN: September 1, 2024!

The Southern California Interdisciplinary Law Journal (ILJ) ⚖️ was founded in 1991 to assess contemporary society, conceive new and unique legal methodologies, and seek solutions to contemporary societal problems. The Journal seeks to do this by challenging traditional legal scholarship through the perspectives of disciplines upon which the law is premised. As a result, the Journal provides a framework upon which the future of the law must grow.
