What are the eligibility requirements for applying to the Harvard Law School J.D. program?
You are eligible to apply if you will have a bachelor’s degree by August of the year you intend to enroll at HLS. You must also take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) before the February 1 application deadline (no later than the December LSAT administration) in order for your application to be guaranteed consideration. The J.D. degree requires three years of full-time study, and new students begin their studies only in the fall semester each year. Apart from continuing legal education for practicing lawyers, we have no part-time or summer programs.
