Staying on top of law school application deadlines is crucial to the admissions process. Missing a deadline can mean the difference between securing a spot at your dream institution and waiting another year to try again or even missing out on a bigger law school scholarship!
We did the legwork for you and assembled a list of the 2025 ABA-approved law school deadlines. All you need to do is write your personal statement, request your letters of recommendation, and, of course, take the LSAT!
Choose an LSAT test date that will allow you to submit your law school application with your score—remember, some schools also specify the last LSAT they are willing to accept. Give yourself enough time to prep for the LSAT, be it in a live class, on your own, or with an LSAT tutor.

Do Law Schools Have Rolling Admissions?
Short answer, yes. Most law schools have rolling admissions and they offer seats in their upcoming class as they receive applications during the admissions season. It’s not unheard of to hear about students who receive an acceptance offer just before the fall semester begins.
However, that’s not to say there are zero deadlines. Many schools, especially the T14 schools, have either strict/final deadlines or priority/suggested deadlines. It’s up to each individual school’s policy to determine if they will continue reviewing applications after their deadlines.
Keep in mind that financial aid—namely scholarships—can also be handed out earlier in the cycle rather than later and schools will often suggest you apply by their priority deadlines for maximum financial aid consideration.
