Thank you for applying to Liberty Law!

Liberty Law's Mission

Liberty University School of Law exists to equip future leaders in law with a superior legal education in fidelity to the Christian faith expressed through the Holy Scriptures. At Liberty Law, we champion your success. We will ready you with the values, knowledge, and skills to inspire your peers, innovate the profession, and impact the world on the first day of your career.

Submitting Your Application

Apply early. Applications must be complete by July 15, 2026. (To be considered for admission after July 15, you must make arrangements with the Office of Admissions.) The application deadline dates are listed below:

December 15, 2025 Early Decision Program (non-binding) for Fall 2026 application.
July 15, 2026 Regular Decision Program for Fall 2026 application.

A complete application includes each of the following:

Credential Assembly Service (CAS) report
LSAT score submitted through CAS
Personal Statement
One letter of recommendation
Resume (optional)
All undergraduate and graduate transcripts (submitted through CAS)

Please carefully read the instructions before completing the application. All materials submitted by application become property of Liberty University School of Law and cannot be returned or forwarded to a third party. Any false, misleading, or incomplete information in your application may result in denial of admission, or, if admitted, rescindment of offer of admission. You must notify the law school of any changes that occur or inaccuracies that are discovered after the date of submitting this application. A written explanation of changes must be submitted as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days of any status changes or discoveries.

Application Fee

There is no application fee for the Fall 2026 application.

Personal Statement

You are required to provide a personal statement as part of this Application for Admission that specifically answers the two questions identified below. Note: because your personal statement must address the two questions identified below, submitting a personal statement that you may have prepared for application to another law school, but that does not explicitly address the two questions, is unsatisfactory. Consider your personal statement as your "interview" with the members of the faculty Admissions Committee at Liberty University School of Law who have identified the parameters of the interview. As a part of answering these two questions, your personal statement should detail your interest in Liberty University School of Law, including your perspective on faith, life, morality, and why the law school?s distinct mission appeals to you.

Why do you want to be a lawyer?
Why do you want to study law from a Christian worldview?

The personal statement must be your own work. This means that the ideas and expressions originated with you and that you wrote all drafts and the final product. It does not preclude asking family members, friends, pre-law advisors, and others for proofreading assistance or general feedback. A suggested format for your personal statement is an essay of two to four pages, double-spaced, using a 12-point font.

Letters of Recommendation

One letter of recommendation is required, addressing your academic performance and abilities, preferably from a faculty advisor or professor in your major field of study. If you have been out of school for several years or have served in the military, a letter from an employer or commanding officer is appropriate.

Additional letters of recommendation are not required, however, we will accept a maximum of four letters.

Recommenders may send letters to the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) or directly to the School of Law Office of Admissions. It is wise to identify, and request letters from your recommenders very early in the application process. If you choose to use LSAC's letter of recommendation service, follow the directions for submitting letters outlined at LSAC.org.

Resume

The law school recommends, but does not require, a separate, current résumé of academic, employment, and service activities.

Transfer Students

A CAS report
A letter of recommendation (submitted through LSAC)
A letter of good standing from current law school

Character and Other Qualifications for Admission to the Bar

You are encouraged to contact the Board of Bar Examiners of the state(s) in which you intend to practice to secure information regarding the qualifications for admission to the practice of law in that jurisdiction(s). You are also encouraged to contact the Board of Bar Examiners of the state(s) in which you intend to practice to determine whether you are required to register for the Bar of that state(s) before you begin law school.

In addition to a bar examination, there are character, fitness, and other qualifications for admission to the bar in every U.S. jurisdiction. Applicants are encouraged to determine the requirements for any jurisdiction in which they intend to seek admission by contacting the jurisdiction. Addresses for all relevant agencies are available through the National Conference of Bar Examiners.

Students with Disabilities

Students who have physical disabilities, learning disabilities, or other disabling conditions, should contact the Director of Academic Support regarding conditions and any appropriate accommodations the School of Law needs to make to assure access to the school's academic programs and examinations. All information will be confidential except to the extent necessary to make accommodations. Accepted students should contact the Director of Academic Support, regardless of whether they have already provided information regarding disabilities during the admissions process.

Nondiscrimination Policy

Liberty University School of Law, in accordance with its Doctrinal Position, Mission and Values, and Student Personal Code of Honor, does not engage in unlawful discrimination or harassment because of race, color, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, age, sex, national origin, pregnancy or childbirth, disability, or veteran or military status in its educational programs and activities. Liberty University School of Law maintains its Christian mission and reserves its right to make decisions on the basis of religion to the extent that applicable law respects its right to act in furtherance of its religious objectives. Specifically, the School of Law is bound by the Liberty University Doctrinal Position and the teaching of the traditional biblical definition of gender, which is that humans are created by God either biologically male or female from the womb, as well as the traditional biblical definition of marriage, which is that it is only between a natural-born man and a natural-born woman. Conduct contravening this traditional biblical definition of gender or marriage is inconsistent with the Liberty University Doctrinal Position and the Bible. Consistent with these teachings, the School of Law makes all decisions, including hiring, admissions, disciplinary, and retention, with regard to conduct or other actions that undermine essential elements of the University?s Christian values and beliefs, including standards of conduct related to sexual orientation, gender, as well as gender identity and expression.
