Are there certain things students applying for the Accelerated JD program should particularly stress in their applications?
The things that we’re looking for from an AJD applicant are basically the things that we’re looking for out of our JD applicants — it’s just at a little bit of a higher level. We’re definitely looking for strong work experience — the average number of years of work experience in our AJD class is six years. We’re looking for strong project management experience, we’re looking for career focus, we’re looking for leadership experience — the same sort of intangibles we’re looking for in our JD students. Most of our current AJD students have had established careers, and they’re looking at a law degree to take them to the next step in whatever field they’ve chosen. TLS: Thank you so much for your time. Anything else you’d like to add? I see a lot of law applicants and admitted students make their decisions without doing their due diligence. When they make the decision to go to law school, they should definitely visit schools, talk to students, and test drive and kick the tires.
