Is it ok to leave blank the Employment section of LSAC applications that tells you to list your extracurricular activities if you're going to attach a resume detailing those activities? Or will leaving that section blank be frowned upon by schools?

I wouldn't leave it blank. It takes a few min to type it out again, and it's saved for every school. That way you know you're following instructions, and there is no need to wonder what adcomms think about leaving it blank.

I mean this is arguably the most important set of applications you will ever fill out. You can afford to take a few extra minutes on it.

Got it! Thanks.
