Applicant Advising
Individual applicant advising is offered throughout June and July on select Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. These meetings are intended for prospective JD applicants who plan to matriculate in fall 2024. Due to limited availability, if you are applying during a later cycle, we invite you to attend or watch an applicant information session, attend office hours, or you may email us any questions.
As a reminder, we do not take notes during these appointments, and this is not an interview for the JD program. Please refrain from making multiple appointments to allow others to access one-on-one advising. To schedule an advising appointment, please fill out this intake form.
Office Hours with Dean Alvarez
Calling prospective applicants: join us for JD Admissions Office Hours to ask any non-individualized questions that you have about the program and the admissions process. These sessions are open to anyone who would like to learn more about the JD program. You must register for a Zoom account in order to join. Office hours will not be recorded. Click on the date to register.
