Application requirements
Although academic history and the LSAT score are very important in the application review process, the personal statement is a vital factor as well. The personal statement should be no more than three pages, typed and double-spaced. In the personal statement, you should focus on your accomplishments, skills, experiences and motivation that indicate a potential for success in law school. Include any information such as extracurricular activities, career plans, leadership ability, or anything else that will help the Admissions Committee gain a clear and accurate picture of you as an individual. You can attach your personal statement below.
*For transfer students, include your reasons for transferring in your personal statement.
*For students who have been academically dismissed from a law school, you must have waited one year before applying. In your personal statement, explain the circumstances and what preparations you've made to succeed in law school.
*For students who started law school and did not earn credits, please explain the circumstances.
Western State's Principles of Community and Mission Statement cherishes diversity and celebrates differences as our most important resource. We invite you to discuss how your unique background, lived experience, or uncommon perspective would help you to make a distinctive contribution to our law school.
You are invited to submit a statement that describes in detail any notable life circumstances, challenges or adversities you have overcome.
If you have a decrease or increase in your LSAT score by five points or more, you may provide a written explanation if you wish.
If you would like to explain any inconsistencies, gaps or update any information about your undergraduate transcript, you may do so here.
Western State offers scholarships based on academic merit; LSAT scores and undergraduate records carry the most weight. All admitted students will automatically be considered. If you would like, please provide additional information about yourself and why you are specifically interested in attending Western State for the Scholarship Committee's consideration. (1 page max.)
Applicants are required to submit a current résumé, including extracurricular activities if applicable. You can attach your résumé here.
If you answer YES to any of the following questions, you MUST provide a detailed explanation and include supporting documents as necessary. You should also consult the rules and regulations of the Committee of Bar Examiners of the state in which you intend to practice law to determine whether or not these incidents might affect your eligibility for admission to the bar. Failure to provide truthful and complete answers, or failure to notify the Admissions Office of any changes in your answers, may result in revocation of admission or disciplinary action by the law school or denial of permission to practice law in the state in which you seek admission. If you are unsure as to whether to disclose an incident or not, please contact the Admissions Office.
In addition to a bar examination, there are character, fitness, and other qualifications for admission to the bar in every U.S. jurisdiction. Applicants are encouraged to determine the requirements for any jurisdiction in which they intend to seek admission by contacting the jurisdiction. Addresses for all relevant agencies are available through the National Conference of Bar Examiners.
