Law School Personal Statement Requirements

LAW SCHOOL PERSONAL STATEMENT REQUIREMENTS

Do you need a new personal statement for each law school you apply to? Probably not. (Except for the University of Florida Levin College of Law and the University of Colorado-Boulder).

But do you need to change  your essay slightly for different schools? Probably.

To help you figure out what you need to do (because following the directions provided by each school is part of what you are being tested on when you apply to law school – rule following is “kinda” important for lawyers), we’ve put together a chart for each school. See below for links to each law school’s personal statement requirements and instructions. I am listing it by school ranking because most people apply to schools that are similarly ranked and I thought this would make it easiest for you to find the schools you are looking for.  I hope this is helpful to you.
