Some accept only two letters, some accept as many as four. Some law schools limit recommendation letter writers to present or past professors while others may accept letters of recommendation from past or current employers. Some law schools impose length limits on the ir letters of recommendations, others do not. Some law schools ask letter writers to address specific points (academic performance, personal knowledge of the applicant) while others do not. Research the law schools to which you intend to apply to determine what their requirements are and make sure you convey those requirements to your letter writers. Also make sure they know when these letters are due, to whom they are due, and that you have afforded the letter writers enough time to think about, write, and polish your letters of recommendation. For detailed information on letters of recommendation, seeLSACs Credential Assembly Service.EvaluationsEvaluations are reports prepared, written, and transmitted to the law schools you designate through LSACs Credential Assembly Service.
