Personal Statement:
At least one personal statement and résumé. Additional personal statements or any other addenda may be submitted;Your personal statement should provide information, in your own words, you believe relevant to the admissions decision not elicited elsewhere in the application. The statement is your opportunity to tell us about yourself; it may address your intellectual interests, significant accomplishments or obstacles overcome, personal or professional goals, educational achievements, or any way in which your perspective or experiences will add to the richness of the educational environment at the Law School. Please upload your personal statement to your e-application via LSAC.
Recommendation Letter:
At least two, but no more than four, letters of recommendation;Applicants must provide two letters of recommendation, but may provide no more than four such letters. Recommenders should evaluate your potential as a law student, so letters from members of your college or graduate school faculty who can discuss your academic performance are particularly helpful. If you have been out of school for several years and have difficulty securing an academic reference, you may substitute letters from employers or others who have worked closely with you. In any event, letters should address the skills necessary for rigorous, advanced academic work: the ability to read complex textual material closely, to analyze it carefully, and to present reasoned conclusions in writing and orally; maturity; self-discipline; commitment; and professionalism.
UVA Law requires applicants to submit letters through the LSAC Letter of Recommendation service. This service is included with your CAS registration. Letters submitted through the LSAC service are copied and sent to us along with your CAS Law School Report and can be read online immediately. Updated reports are sent immediately if letters are received after your initial CAS Law School Report has been sent.
学位要求:Bachelor
课程要求:A reasonable degree of exposure to such subjects as history, literature, English composition, philosophy, political science, and economics will provide a good background for a full appreciation of the law. Whatever the courses selected, one should look for classes that require reading complex primary source material, analyzing it closely, and presenting well-reasoned conclusions in writing.
Most admissions committee members would prefer that an applicant’s college coursework gave foundational understandings of history, economics, politics, science, and culture that will provide the context for a fuller understanding of the law and how it operates in our society.
