Representation in the legal profession is essential to the health and effectiveness of our legal system. Attorneys play vital roles as advocates, counselors, and leaders, and it is essential that they understand and represent the diverse communities they serve. By fostering an environment where a wide range of voices are heard and valued, we prepare our students to engage with the complex and interconnected world around them.
We understand that traditional admissions criteria do not always capture the full potential of every applicant. Therefore, we take a comprehensive approach to admissions, considering not only academic achievements but also the broader experiences, perspectives, and challenges that each applicant has encountered.
Our admissions committee seeks to understand the full story of each candidate. We look beyond GPAs and LSAT/GRE scores to appreciate qualities such as resilience, leadership, and a demonstrated commitment to positive community impact. Whether you have overcome significant obstacles, led efforts to improve your community, or have a passion for advancing social justice, your unique experiences are valued in our law school community.
From the moment you join us, you will find a welcoming and supportive environment dedicated to your success. Our programs and resources are designed to ensure that all students feel valued and empowered, including mentorship opportunities, community service, student organizations, and guest speakers who address topics related to cultural competency and professional development.
At LMU Law, we believe that a diverse range of perspectives enriches the educational experience and better prepares our graduates to be leaders in the legal profession. We invite you to become part of our community, where your unique background and experiences will positively contribute to the ongoing pursuit of justice and equality for all.
