Applicants must fulfill the requirements of both the Graduate College and the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law.

To be considered for admission to the JD program, applicants must have taken the LSAT (excludes applicants applying to the ASU Achievement Program) and have earned or will earn by the time of enrollment in law school a bachelor's degree that has been awarded by an institution that is accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education.

An application for admission must include-
electronic application
personal statement (no more than two pages, double-spaced and font size no smaller than 11 point)
resume (no more than two pages and font size no smaller than 11 point)
character and fitness statement, if applicable, explaining affirmative answers to questions 1-8 in the Character and Fitness section
binding admission contract, if applicable,
a valid LSAT score (excludes applicants applying to the ASU Achievement Program)
transcripts from each undergraduate and graduate institution attended (must be sent to LSAC)
proof of English proficiency for applicants whose native language is not English regardless of their current residency.

Applications may also include-
letters of recommendation: no more than two letters submitted through LSAC to be included in applicant's Credential Assembly Service report
optional addenda
Since these are not required, the admission office will not wait for letters to complete an applicant's file for review.

If English is not your native language, and you have not completed a bachelor's degree or higher at a regionally accredited institution in the United States, you must provide evidence of English proficiency as indicated by acceptable scores. Most competitive applicants should have a TOEFL score of at or near 600 (pBT) or 90 (iBT), a IELTS score of at or near 7.0, a Pearson Test of English (PTE) score of at least 65, or a Duolingo test score at or near 115.
