A certified English language translation must also accompany transcripts that are not issued in English. We do not accept transcripts that the applicant has handled or opened.

As the admissions committee will carefully evaluate your personal statement, you should explain your interest in graduate study in international and comparative law, as well as any other factors that the Admissions Committee should consider when evaluating your application. Your statement should demonstrate your organizational, analytical, and writing skills.

A professor or an employment supervisor must write a reference letter in which that person candidly evaluates your academic abilities and professional skills. The admissions committee will also consider relevant work experience as evidence of potential for graduate study.
