Submitting through OSCAR and email?

Post by Anonymous User » Mon Dec 12, 2022 3:59 am

Some people at my law school claimed that, if an OSCAR listing mentions an email address, an applicant should submit his or her application through OSCAR and email. Is this true? I would think that submitting through OSCAR alone is good enough, but law school has defied my intuition on more than one occasion.

Pick one or the other unless the judge's instructions say to do both.

I would suggest one or the other. The chambers I am in wouldn’t care/notice if you sent through both, but it could play against you if it’s noticed. Better to just submit it through one format (to the extent it matters, I think email will have a better chance of getting looked at IME).
