In order to get into law school, students must complete a few tasks in order to fulfill the requirements of law schools. There are generally three steps: (1) become eligible, (2) take the LSAT, and (3) apply to law school

Become eligible to apply.

Virtually all law schools have certain basic requirements for admission to their school. What differs between them are the level of scrutiny an applicant will receive in fulfilling the requirements.

The first requirement is that most law schools require their applicants to have graduated and obtained an undergraduate bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. This requirement allows the law school to consider an important variable of the application process: Grade Point Average (GPA).

Take the LSAT.

The second requirement is for all applicants to have completed the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Your LSAT score is the most important factor in being considered for law school. See What is the LSAT? This second requirement may not be underestimated as many schools use this score as a first and major filter in the application process. There are many ways to prepare for the LSAT, and preparation is key.

Apply.

In general, most law schools have two other quasi-requirements which are a personal statement and letters of recommendation. Most law schools (more than 200 in the United States) also are a member of the Law School Admissions Counsel (LSAC). This organization is used by applicants to submit their LSAT scores, transcript, letters of recommendation, and personal statement. LSAC takes and collects this information and submits a compiled report to all the law schools you would like to apply. LSAC also happens to be the administrators of the LSAT.
