They are referring to the admission cycle that occures every year.

It basically just entails applying, followed by being accepted/rejected/waitlisted, during a given year.

Lawschoolnumbers.com is a snapshot of many applicants cycles.

Applications opening until classes starting with the things Nova mentioned in between form a cycle. So the 2011-2012 cycle started in August 2011 when applications opened and will end with the start of the next cycle/classes starting here this month. Some people will refer to it by class year as well so the 2011-2012 application cycle might also be referred to side by side with class of 2015, when applicants will graduate.
