Transfer Application Process
To apply for Fall 2024 transfer admissions, submit your application to Faulkner Law through LSAC.org.
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.
Additional Information:
- You may submit an online application through www.lsac.org before you complete your CAS Profile or take the LSAT, but we will not make any final decisions on your application until you have completed all steps.
- You must provide us with a letter of good standing from your current institution, as well as your most recent transcripts.
