Transfer Students

The Law School welcomes applications from students who have compiled strong academic records at other law schools and wish to transfer to the Law School. A transfer application will be considered only if the applicant has attended a school accredited by the American Bar Association.  Up to 30 academic credits may be recognized for courses taken by a transfer student at another law school.  Transfer students who have completed more than one full year of law study will generally be limited to a maximum of no more than 30 credits for work at the other law school.

Whether a particular course or courses a student has taken at another law school may be used to satisfy the specific J.D. course requirements of the Law School will be determined upon admission. Transfer students are not automatically eligible for membership on Law Review on the basis of class rank at another law school. The editorial board of the Law Review may, at the transferring student’s request, review the transfer student’s transcript and invite an exceptionally well-qualified transfer student to become a member without participating in the writing competition.
