LLM in Law

You are required to submit academic transcripts from all higher education institutions attended (this includes undergraduate, graduate (if applicable) and law school)

You must submit at least two and no more than four. These letters can come from academics or professionals. The most important aspect of these letters is that they come from someone that is able to truly speak to your qualities and ability to succeed in an elite and rigorous law program. Therefore, you should ask individuals that have first hand experience working with you or as your supervisor.

All applicants are required to submit a 1-3 page personal statement (sometimes referred to as a letter of motivation). The personal statement should go beyond just the black and white already available to the committee in your transcripts and resume. This is your opportunity to tell the committee something about you that could not otherwise be known from your application materials. It is perfectly acceptable to talk about why you chose to apply to the University of Chicago but you should do so in the context of how you plan to leverage your experience here in the broader context of your personal and professional goals. Remember, the personal statement is about you.

You are required to submit an up to date resume or CV which details your educational and professional background.
