Transcript:
Official transcripts (final grade reports or mark sheets) and certificates of law degree completion must be submitted to Temple Law. A certified English language translation must also accompany transcripts that are not issued in English. An acceptable official transcript is one that has been submitted directly to Temple Law from the issuing university under seal in an envelope sealed by your university. Transcripts that have been opened and handled by the applicant are not considered acceptable. Applicants may also submit transcripts through an academics credential evaluation service, such as World Evaluation Service (WES) or Law School Admission Council (LSAC).
Personal Statement:
The personal statement is required and is carefully evaluated by the admissions committee. Applicants should explain their interest in graduate study in international and comparative law, as well as any other factors the admissions committee should take into consideration when evaluating their application. The statement should demonstrate the applicant’s organizational, analytical, and writing skills; as a result, applicants should invest appropriate time and effort in preparing this statement.
Personal statements are not to exceed 1,000 words.
Recommendation Letter:
The reference letter may be written by a professor or employment supervisor and should candidly evaluate the applicant’s academic abilities and/or professional skills.
