Application Deadlines

Applications for the J.D. Programs are reviewed as they are completed. Students are therefore strongly advised to apply as early as possible.

Applications submitted after the deadline indicated below will be considered on an individual basis. Applicants should be aware, however, that a waiting list can be established as early as February, and eligibility for certain forms of financial aid most preferred by students (e.g., scholarship programs) may be reduced substantially after April 1.

Application Deadline: Applications for Fall 2026 may still be submitted on a case-by-case basis. If interested in applying, you must first call the Admissions Office at 213-738-6834 AND you must already have an active CAS profile containing a valid LSAT score (i.e. a score obtained within the last 5 years), at least one letter of recommendation, and your undergraduate transcripts. 

Note: The priority deadline for the concurrent-degree program is February 1st. Students who submit their applications by this date will receive priority consideration for financial aid.
