All non-native speakers of English must submit an official TOEFL, IELTS or DUOLINGO score. Applicants who earned a university degree in an English-speaking country or from an institution in which English is the medium of instruction may petition to have the language proficiency test requirement waived. Please see the Application Procedure page for further information.

TOEFL:

Order an official score report using the code for Temple Law School (2906-03). For more information on the TOEFL examination, visit www.ets.org/toefl/ New Tab

• TUJ conducts an institutional TOEFL (ITP) exam almost every month. Scores are valid only in an application to TUJ.

IELTS:

Request that an official report be sent directly to Temple Law School. For more information on IELTS, please visit www.ielts.org/ New Tab

DUOLINGO: 

Request that an official report be sent directly to Temple University, Japan Campus. For more information on DUOLINGO, please visit https://englishtest.duolingo.com/ New Tab.

Official transcripts from all third-level institutions attended must be submitted directly to Temple Law School in Philadelphia by the issuing institutions in envelopes sealed by the institutions.

If any transcript merely lists the courses that you have completed, but does not show that the institution actually conferred your degree, then you must additionally ask the institution to submit a certificate of degree completion. The transcript alone will not suffice.

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. Applicants may also submit overseas transcripts through an academic credentials evaluation service, such as World Evaluation Service (WES) New Tab or Law School Admission Council (LSAC) New Tab.

A personal statement should include information about your personal history, professional interests, and abilities that you think might help the Admissions Committee know you as a person and as a professional. Your personal statement should be between 500 and 1,000 words. Please submit the statement through the online application website.

Students must submit at least two letters of recommendation, though we would prefer three, from either law professors or legal employers well acquainted with your academic abilities or professional skills. Recommendation letters may be submitted online or in hard-copy form. A Student Recommendation Form is available on the application website for submission in hard-copy form.

A resume should contain details about your education and work experience.
