Admissions Office of YaleP.O. Law School Box 208215New Haven, CT 06520-8215Street: 133 Wall Street, Ruttenberg HallPhone: (203) 432-4995Email: admissions.law@yale.edu Contact the Law Education Placement Committee and your recommendersEven if you are only temporarily interested in entering the legal internship market, you must express your interest to the Law Education Placement Committee by sending an email to lawteaching@yale.edu. Please send a one-page summary and, if possible, a draft of your employment discussion paper. Please send your annotated curriculum vitae with abstracts of each of your publications and work-in-progress, along with a one- or two-page summary of your proposed discussion paper and a draft of your research program, to Professor William Eskridge, Jr., Chair of our Law Education Committee this year. (william.eskridge@yale.edu) NOTE: These documents must be in WORD format so that Professor Eskridge can make comments or editorial suggestions. Doing so as soon as possible will give you time to make significant revisions before your resume and research program are submitted for inclusion in the Yale Law School resume book, which will be distributed to all hiring committees. (The deadline to submit your resume for this book is July 5) This calendar and calendar are ideal. While it`s best to complete your work early in the summer to have time to gather and incorporate feedback (which is often substantial) before the advocacy camp, many ultimately successful candidates did not have a complete draft in May. In particular, clinical candidates may or may not need completed work (although some fellowships are increasingly the norm). Resume submission deadline to be included in the YLS Candidate BookWe strongly recommend that you include your resume in the Yale Teacher Candidate Book. This book will be sent to all law schools in the United States in early August.
To do this, you must send your CV with the subject “CV Book” to lawteaching@yale.edu. Further information and instructions will be distributed through the Law Education Committee`s mailing list. (Note: Applicants often send updated versions of their resumes to individual schools later in the year; the agreement only applies to inclusion in Yale`s teacher candidate book.) Applicants must submit a list of activities to help us understand what you did during your undergraduate studies and after graduation (if applicable). Although YLS offered student housing in the law school complex for many years, this is no longer the case. Law students who want to live in Yale-owned apartments have the option of living in a variety of general student housing complexes, but only 1-2% of students each year choose this option. Most students choose to live in private homes in one of three neighboring neighborhoods: Downtown/The Towers, Dwight/Edgewood, or East Rock. If you decide to apply for LSAT, you must take the LSAT no later than January 2022. LSAC automatically reports all LSAT values for the past five years. The oldest LSAT note we will accept is June 2016.
If you have completed the LSAT since June 2016, you do not have the option of not reporting your grade to law school – your grade will be included in the information we receive from LSAC in your CAS report. Your LSAT scores will be part of our holistic review of your application. Student-faculty ratio: 7.9 to 1Full-time faculty: 70 LSAC requires at least one LSAT written sample, taken either at the time of the LSAT exam or via LSAT Writing, to create your CAS report. Yale Law School requires only one LSAT writing sample. Candidates who complete the LSAT more than once do not have to submit multiple writing samples. LSAC can take up to three weeks to process and report your LSAT letter. Therefore, you must complete your LSAT letter no later than January 25, 2022 to ensure that we receive it from Yale Law School before the application deadline. Applicants must submit two essays: a personal statement and a 250-word essay. Faculty readers consult these two articles for a nuanced picture of each candidate. Moot Camp registration deadline (without paper) Yale Law School faculty and students can expand the program and pursue their interests through a variety of centers, programs, and workshops.
Yale students enjoy unparalleled access to many of the best minds in law school. With an average class size of less than 20 and institutional requirements for students to complete two in-depth writing assignments supervised by faculty during their time at YLS, students can`t help but build relationships with faculty. In general, most scholarships and academic activities related to business and corporate law are organised under the aegis of the Centre for the Study of Company Law, founded in 1999. The center aims to provide students and faculty with greater exposure and engagement with contemporary business law issues. To this end, the Centre organizes a variety of conferences, round tables, panels, symposia and named conferences on various topics. It also sponsors interactive symposia and workshops to showcase current research and discuss pressing issues. A school-sponsored website contains electronic designs organized by students for most classes. It`s common for students to share lecture notes with each other (Bill Clinton reportedly asked for and received notes from a classmate “for everything” when he skipped two months of classes to work in politics for a semester) and study together.
