Hi everyone,

A lot of the schools that I'm applying to list their letter of reference requirements as "2 required - at least one academic." I was just wondering if it is better to get two academic references or use the other as an employment reference, personal, etc. Is there an preference from law schools on this? I have a few choices for both but I'm just not sure what route to go down.

Thank you all in advance :)

*P.S I'm applying to Canadian schools - not sure if this matters

    Schools seem to really like academic letters so I would send 2 academic and maybe 1 employment if you think he/she would write a good letter.

    I think as long as you have at least one academic recommender, you should be good

    I personally used 2 academic + 1 employment letter since schools let you send up to 3 or 4.
