How many letters of recommendatins do most law schools requi
I hear that most law schools require 2 letters? Is that true? Are there some that require more or less? And are there some that don't require any?

UT doesn't require any but they STRONGLY recommend them. When I get home Ill post a link that I have bookmarked that shows the exact admissions requirements for the entire T1/T2.
Most seem to be 1-2

1-3, depending on the school. I know I had to submit 3 at some point.

Most say two, but it's probably a good idea to peruse the admissions section of the website of ANY school you plan on apply to.

Any law school worth attending will require 0-2 LORs.

None of the schools I applied to needed 3. Most required 2. One didn't require any and actually said not to send any unless you were individually asked after submitting the app.

Re: How many letters of recommendatins do most law schools requi
People's College of Law? LOL.
Anyway, I think 2 is the safest bet. No school that I applied to (Blanket almost all of T14 and a handful of Rank 20-30) "recommended" more than 2, and most said in fact that 3 LoR would likely slow your admissions process down rather than assist them.

Do you remember which schools specifically advised against submitting 3 or more LORs?Aggiegrad2011 wrote:No school that I applied to (Blanket almost all of T14 and a handful of Rank 20-30) "recommended" more than 2, and most said in fact that 3 LoR would likely slow your admissions process down rather than assist them.

I've hit a small road bump getting a 2nd LOR from a UG faculty member, will it be a problem if I have 1 academic LOR and 1 work LOR? Assuming I'll be applying to T14 and some safeties.

The only law school I've found that actually REQUIRES two FACULTY letters of rec is cornell, other than that I think you will be alright with one non-faculty LOR.terpie wrote:I've hit a small road bump getting a 2nd LOR from a UG faculty member, will it be a problem if I have 1 academic LOR and 1 work LOR?

Unless you've been working for several years, Cornell requires 2 academic LORs and Duke recommends 2 academic LORs, so you should be fine for most of the T14.terpie wrote:I've hit a small road bump getting a 2nd LOR from a UG faculty member, will it be a problem if I have 1 academic LOR and 1 work LOR?

IIRC you can send in their new evaluation form in lieu of a letter of rec (the Northwestern one, not the LSAC one).thegor1987 wrote:TLS profile of Northwestern says they require one as of this timeWannabelawyer101 wrote:Doesn't Northwestern no longer require recs?vtoodler wrote:Which law school did not request any?hsprophet wrote:None of the schools I applied to needed 3.
