Can I PM on of you guys to check out this LOR?

This professor is a good guy, and I like him a lot. He was kind enough to send back a draft. Can I pm one of you guys to get your opinion on the quality?

aren't LSAC LORs supposed to be blind? or is that just optional?

Their submission is blind, but if the recommender wants to check with you on the content, I don't think that's a problem. I didn't prompt anything, obviously. He just wanted to send me the draft to make sure it was good. Do you think I am dipping my toe into hot water and should just tell him to send as is?

"If a recommender requests that you draft a letter for their editing, respectfully decline and see if the recommender would consider writing one with help from you. If the recommender agrees, provide him or her with a letter detailing your qualifications with examples. This way, your recommender can see what should be included in your recommendation without you actually drafting it. If the recommender strongly presses for a draft, seriously consider an alternative recommender.

In some instances, a recommender may ask for a draft because they are unfamiliar with writing a letter of recommendation for law school. If that is the case, many college career services can provide guidelines and instructions on how to write law school letters of recommendation, and there are many excellent books available that explain how to write a recommendation for law school."

It seems like I am right on the line of being okay. Since I am not the one writing it.

(Sorry, just logged onto 7sage and seeing this now). Seems like I interpreted blind submission as the whole process being blind but this seems fine. Kind of wish I knew about that, sort of curious what my recommenders wrote now. Hope it all worked out!!
