Hey 7Sagers!
In terms of submitting LOR to LSAC - once the professor gets the link, do they submit only one LOR and then we distribute the same letter to each law school? Or do they need to provide multiple/ tailor each LOR to the school...? Let's say you're applying to five, do you ask your professor for five? So lost....
Thanks YALL.

Yes.
No. They don't have to. If you want them to, they can.
It's similar to transcripts. You only have to send one copy, and it will be distributed to the schools you apply to.
Thanks so much guys! Would it be preferable/advisory to get my professors to write multiple? Not sure what is commonplace here...
It's definitely not commonplace to get professors to write multiple letters. Most commonly students just get a standard LOR and submit them to all schools. What is a professors going to write differently in a LOR for Yale that she'd write different for Cornell? The only preferable way to have your prof tailor a LOR is maybe if they are an alum from the law school you're applying to or used to lecture there. Otherwise, just make their job easy and have them just write one standard LOR to send everywhere.
ask them for 1 general LOR and then you send their 1 letter to different schools. if you want a school-specific LOR then you obv ask them for one regarding that specific school.
but general LORs is just 1 from them for all schools, not a different one for each school.
Totally! I agree and this is what I was thinking as well, but I thought I would double check. Thank you everyone![:) :)](/forums/resources/emoji/smile.png)
No problem! Good luck.
