The Law School Admissions Committee employs a whole-person review philosophy. Evidence of superior academic potential, record of service, leadership and other unique qualities and traits, and personal and professional goals that align with Notre Dame are considered with a view toward assembling a diverse class while at the same time arriving at a fair appraisal of the applicant. Notre Dame Law School officials involved in the admission process are mindful of the school’s objective to produce lawyers who are competent, compassionate, and committed to serving their clients with integrity.

“Notre Dame Law School is truly a community of learning. Instead of simply lecturing on the black-letter law, my professors have blended their lectures with policy, ethical, and human considerations – bringing life to the law. They emphasize that law does not happen in the vacuum of a textbook or in the confines of an exam; rather, classes focus on the human component that one must understand in order to become an ethical, successful lawyer. My professors have further brought this human component to life through the way they treat their students – not simply as students but as the future policymakers and lawmakers of our society.”
