Just a reminder when applying to law schools, in that some schools require a dean certification. Please complete the UB Release form and also provide me with the forms from each Law School that requires them. Your law school application to those schools will not be complete until this form is processed. Aditionally, keep in mind that the turn-around time for these forms can be upwards of two weeks during busy times. So the sooner you get them to our office, the sooner we can get to work sending them out to the law schools you are applying to!

Just a reminder that if you have a quick question pertaining to law, feel free to communicate with me via the Instant Messaging window found at the right-hand side of the Web site. Keep in mind that IM is best for general types of questions, and you should never transmit personal or identifying information over the IM channel. Typical inquiries might includes questions about timelines, LSAT dates, LSAT preparation, internship opportunities, suggestions on classes, majors, researching law schools, GPA’s, scholarship information, and other such questions.
Also, if you are new to Pre-Law, please review the contents at the right, as you’ll find lots of helpful information there to get you started.
