Please visit the [LL.M. page](LL.M. page) or [J.S.D. page](J.S.D. page) if you are interested in applying to those programs.  \nThe NDLS App has been designed so as to provide a fast and easy way for students to apply to the Law School. Please note that the Law School will waive the application fee of those students who apply via the NDLS App. While the NDLSApp maybe especially useful for applicants who have not yet begun the LSAC Application process for other schools, all applicants are welcome to use either application.  \nWhen considering how to apply, please know that both applications ask the same questions and are given the same consideration by the Admissions Committee.  \nPlease note that the Office of Admissions still requires that applicants who use the NDLS App also submit all required documents as outlined in our application instructions below. The Admissions Office will contact applicants following the submission of the NDLS App to complete this process. We ask that applicants provide these required documents within two weeks of submitting the NDLSApp and that the required documents are sent to the Admissions Committee as .pdf attachments.  \nWhile the NDLSApp comes with an automatic fee waiver, the Law School cannot waive any fees associated with services rendered by LSAC (e.g., submitting CAS Reports, sitting for the LSAT, etc.). LSAC may waive these fees if the applicant has received an LSAC Fee Waiver which includes two LSATs and four CAS Reports. More information about the LSAC Fee Waiver can be found here.  \nStudents may use either the LSAC or NDLS applications to apply via Early or Regular Decision. Early Decision is a binding process intended for applicants who have researched their law school options and think NDLS is their top choice. Applying to NDLS via Early Decision allows applicants to express their special interest in attending the Law School. Early Decision applicants are given priority review and will be notified of both admission and scholarship status (if admitted) by the end of December. Regular Decision candidates will be notified of their status on a rolling basis beginning in December and will learn their scholarship status (if admitted) beginning in midFebruary.  \nJ.D. Application Information  \nNotre Dame Law School (NDLS) admits new Juris Doctor students for the fall term only and begins accepting applications on September 1 for the next fall entering class. Given the competitive nature of the applicant pool and NDLS’s rolling processes for both admissions and scholarship, the Admissions Committee recommends that prospective students read the following directions closely and consider applying early in the admission cycle.  \nStandards for Admission  \nThe Admissions Committee seeks to enroll a highly qualified and diverse class that will help the Law School achieve its mission of educating lawyers who will serve the good of the human family.  \nTo that end, the Admissions Committee evaluates candidates in a holistic manner and considers an array offactors including, but not limited to, the following: academic achievement; undergraduate and graduate coursework; leadership skills; community involvement; overcoming adversity; work and life experiences; and a specific interest in the stud","cbCaiuJ0wYSwKTDo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuJ0wYSwKTDo","pdf",876353,67,"English","# Admissions Information\n## J.D.
