To apply to the Law Program all students must submit a UCDC Law application, resume, unofficial transcript, and brief statement of interest. Applications are typically accepted one semester in advance but may be submitted up to one year in advance of participation in the Law Program. Please see Important Dates for application deadlines.
Students who would like to apply to the UCDC Law Program should first determine whether they satisfy basic eligibility requirements set by their home campus by reading the home school addendum attached to the application. While there are not binding course prerequisites for participation in the program, some externship sites do have specific course requirements. Applicants should make themselves aware of these requirements prior to applying to the Law Program.
After confirming eligibility, interested students should complete an application here: https://forms.gle/jwBLF3yU2JTagaS9A, making sure to pay special attention to the attached addendum, and submit it along with the additonal materials listed above to nicole.lehtman@ucdc.edu with a copy to the appropriate staff at their home campus listed on the Contact Us page.
