This section is optional.
If you wish to include any addenda to your application, please attach them here. For clarity, we recommend adding a heading to each addendum that clearly indicates the question or topic you are addressing.
Please upload a current résumé, curriculum vitae (CV), or a summary of your academic, professional, and extracurricular experiences. This helps us understand your background, interests, and the path that led you to law school.
Because lawyers and law students are held to high ethical standards, you must be truthful and candid during the entire admissions process. The Law School expects you to furnish requested information in a complete and accurate manner. Failure to disclose an act or event may be more significant, and may lead to more serious consequences, than the event itself. Failure to provide complete and truthful information, or failure to inform the Admissions Office of any changes to your answers over time, may result in dismissal from or disciplinary action by the Law School, revocation of a degree, or denial of permission to practice law by the state in which you seek bar admission. Your obligation to disclose does not end upon admission and continues throughout your law school career.
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 that jurisdiction. Addresses for all relevant agencies are available through the National Conference of Bar Examiners.
