Application Process

Earning your Juris Doctor from the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law starts with the application process, an opportunity for interested candidates to demonstrate their potential for the successful study of law. A supportive and collaborative community, Brandeis Law actively seeks to recruit a class of talented individuals with strong credentials and unique experiences.

Applications must be complete and ready for review by the dates below in order to meet the application deadlines. Your application will not be considered complete until the law school has received all required application components. Applicants are automatically considered for all available institutional scholarship funding with no separate application required. Brandeis Law does not charge an application fee.

The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) handles the collection and processing of all application materials. Please allow up to two weeks for LSAC to process materials submitted via the Credential Assembly Service (CAS). The law school will not receive your CAS materials until they have been fully processed and released by LSAC.

Applications are queued for review in the order in which they are confirmed as complete. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and once an application is under review, a decision is typically rendered within three weeks. If an applicant is placed on the waitlist by the Admissions Committee, their application will be reassessed in the summer.
