Essays

Personal statement (1 to 3 pages)

A personal statement must accompany your application. The personal statement should be a 1-3 page essay that provides some insight into your character. The personal statement is also your opportunity to inform the Admissions Committee of any information that you believe supports your application.

Faith and law prompt (within the personal statement) (Part of the 1 to 3 pages)

Faulkner Law has cultivated a caring Christian environment within a rigorous academic setting where the Anglo-American legal tradition is studied and difficult topics such as the nature of law and the importance of legal reasoning are discussed. Please discuss how you would contribute and benefit from this environment.

Editor's notes

Show the service side of your record. Faulkner says scores matter, but so do character, leadership and demonstrated public service, and it describes its graduates as lawyer-servants. Your personal statement and résumé are where that evidence lives.
Apply early even though admission is rolling. Merit scholarships are automatic for admitted full-time students and depend on current funding, and applications rose 35.2% last cycle. Waiting only shrinks the pool.
If you work full-time, look hard at the Executive schedule. It's built for people who can't leave their jobs, with campus weekends about twice a month, but note the New York bar exception.
Faulkner's site doesn't post its essay prompts, deadline or fee. Open the LSAC application early and confirm the details with the admissions office before you plan around them.
