Top Law Schools

Hello guys,

this is my first post and i am trying to search posts that would answer my (stupid) question but no luck..

I am going to ask my supervisor to write a LoR ; however my supervisor does not know how LSAC LoR system works. So, I would need to give every detail i can think of.

When I add recommenders, I know I need to put down a description. However, Im confused about "General" vs "Specific"

Does this "General Use", "All school" means that a writer is not mentioning a specific name of the school on the letter? What if a writer uses the same content but just changes the name of the school? Does this fall under "Specific" or "General"?

I am not sure which description to write after I ask for LORs from my professor and supervisor.. I know they are not affailiated with any of the schools that i am applying to.

Thank you for reading my post..

If you want to use the LOR for multiple schools, then just have it as "For all schools" or "General". If your professor will be writing you a general one and then editing it to be school specific, just indicate on the recommender information page that they will be submitting 2 letters.

Thanks! Just one more clarification..
I will be asking for just one letter for all schools. Do recommendars just need to upload one letter on LSAC? ( in this case, i am assuming they should not write specific names of the schools)?

Yes it is just 1 letter that they need to upload if it's for all schools, and no they shouldn't be writing any specific school names on it if it's general.
