You are required to provide a personal statement as part of this Application for Admission that specifically answers the two questions identified below. Note: because your personal statement must address the two questions identified below, submitting a personal statement that you may have prepared for application to another law school, but that does not explicitly address the two questions, is unsatisfactory. Consider your personal statement as your "interview" with the members of the faculty Admissions Committee at Liberty University School of Law who have identified the parameters of the interview. As a part of answering these two questions, your personal statement should detail your interest in Liberty University School of Law, including your perspective on faith, life, morality, and why the law school’s distinct mission appeals to you.

1. Why do you want to be a lawyer?
2. Why do you want to study law from a Christian worldview?

The personal statement must be your own work. This means that the ideas and expressions originated with you and that you wrote all drafts and the final product. It does not preclude asking family members, friends, pre-law advisors, and others for proofreading assistance or general feedback. A suggested format for your personal statement is an essay of two to four pages, double-spaced, using a 12-point font.

Addendum 2

Addendum 1

You may attach your résumé here.

If your answer is "Yes" to any of the questions in this section, you will be prompted to provide an explanation. Please submit a full descriptive statement. If you need additional space for your explanation, please attach an addendum under Addendum 1, located at the end of this application. The law school encourages you to explain fully. Failure to disclose an act or event can have more serious consequences than the act or event itself, particularly if you wish to practice law and obtain membership in the profession.

1. Have you ever been placed on academic probation?

2. Have you ever been found in violation of a school honor code?

3. Have you ever been placed on disciplinary probation or been subjected to disciplinary action?

4. Are there any disciplinary charges pending or expected to be brought against you?

5. Have you ever been suspended for any reason?

6. Have you ever been expelled for any reason?

7. Have you been arrested for, charged with, or convicted of any offense(s)? (Please include traffic violations, both moving and nonmoving violations.)

8. Are you now under charges for any violation of law?

9. Have you ever been the accused in a court-martial hearing or received any discharge from a branch of the United States Military that was not honorable?

10. Are there any criminal charges pending or expected to be brought against you?

11. Are you a plaintiff or a defendant in an ongoing lawsuit?

12. Are you now over 180 days delinquent on any loan or financial obligation? Include loans or obligations funded or guaranteed by the federal government.

Letters of Recommendation

One letter of recommendation is required, addressing your academic performance and abilities, preferably from a faculty advisor or professor in your major field of study.

Additional letters of recommendation are not required, however, we will accept a maximum of four letters.

Recommenders may send letters to the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) or directly to the School of Law Office of Admissions. It is wise to identify, and request letters from your recommenders very early in the application process. If you choose to use LSAC's letter of recommendation service, follow the directions for submitting letters outlined at LSAC.org.

You are also encouraged to contact the Board of Bar Examiners of the state(s) in which you intend to practice to determine whether you are required to register for the Bar of that state(s) before you begin law school.

In addition to a bar examination, there are character, fitness, and other qualifications for admission to the bar in every U.S. jurisdiction.

Nondiscrimination Policy

Liberty University School of Law, in accordance with its Doctrinal Position, Mission and Values, and Student Personal Code of Honor, does not engage in unlawful discrimination or harassment because of race, color, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, age, sex, national origin, pregnancy or childbirth, disability, or veteran or military status in its educational programs and activities. Liberty University School of Law maintains its Christian mission and reserves its right to make decisions on the basis of religion to the extent that applicable law respects its right to act in furtherance of its religious objectives. Specifically, the School of Law is bound by the Liberty University Doctrinal Position and the teaching of the traditional biblical definition of gender, which is that humans are created by God either biologically male or female from the womb, as well as the traditional biblical definition of marriage, which is that it is only between a natural-born man and a natural-born woman. Conduct contravening this traditional biblical definition of gender or marriage is inconsistent with the Liberty University Doctrinal Position and the Bible. Consistent with these teachings, the School of Law makes all decisions, including hiring, admissions, disciplinary, and retention, with regard to conduct or other actions that undermine essential elements of the University?s Christian values and beliefs, including standards of conduct related to sexual orientation, gender, as well as gender identity and expression.
