Northeastern University School of Law's innovative approach to legal education attracts a well-rounded student body whose educational and cultural diversity enriches the process of learning about the law. Each new class is comprised of approximately 200 individuals with varied life experiences - nurses, musicians, engineers, journalists, educators and political activists, to name a few.

The School of Law offers a non-binding Early Action program to those applicants who have taken the LSAT by December 2008 (we accept the December 2008 score). Under this option, applicants receive a decision - admit, deny or defer to the regular pool - by mid-to-late January 2009. In order to be reviewed early, applications must be received by November 15, 2008. Those students admitted to the law school under Early Action are not required to enroll at the law school; however, if they choose to enroll, a tuition deposit is due by May 1, 2009. You must indicate on the application if you wish to be reviewed Early Action.
