Obtaining and Completing the Application Forms.
No surprises here -- just like college applications, law school applications typically include a multi-page form for biographical information, contact information, your various activities and awards, etc. The form is usually the centerpiece of the law school's application packet, which most schools will send to you for free. Many will also let you download their application forms off of their websites.Obviously, you should try writing all of the expected information out on a separate piece of paper before you actually fill out your applications. Inevitably, you will have doubts about how best to word something, or whether to include a particular activity or award. Better to have those debates on a piece of scratch paper than get in trouble when filling out your application forms.
Also, first impressions count -- type your applications! Or better yet, just save yourself the headache and use the online application (see below).
