How Applying to Law School Early Could Pay Off
Many law schools use a rolling admissions process, meaning they evaluate applications as they come in and release admissions decisions, one by one.
Because there are typically more spots available in a law school class at the beginning of the admissions process than at the end, the ideal time for J.D. hopefuls to apply to law school is in the fall or early winter, experts say.
"I tell anyone planning on applying to law school to apply early," Dineen Pashoukos Wasylik, a partner and owner of DPW Legal, an intellectual property and appellate practice boutique law firm in Florida, wrote in an email. "The class just fills up, and it gets harder and harder to get in as time goes on."
Wasylik, who earned her J.D. from Georgetown University, says she knows from experience that the timing of a J.D. application is critical. The first time she applied to law school, Wasilyk was in her senior year of college, and she submitted all her application materials at the last minute because she felt unsure about whether she wanted to attend law school at the beginning of her senior year. She only realized later in her senior year that law school was the logical next step for her, and says she was disappointed by the responses she got from law schools when she eventually did apply.
Evaluate How These Soft Factors Might Impact Your Law School Chances
A lot of factors go into consideration when an admissions committee evaluates a law school application. Many are obvious, such as GPA, LSAT scores, personal statement, letters of recommendation and resume.
Many, however, are unaware that there are other aspects of an applicant that don't necessarily appear on any one document that may grant them a positive nudge when being assessed by law schools. We call these "soft factors," and if one of them is part of your life experience, you would do well to highlight it in your application to improve your chances.
Highlight military service. Schools love veterans, as they typically have the discipline, maturity, and life experience that many applicants – especially those applying from college – may lack. However, as you'll see in almost any soft factor, not all veterans are viewed the same.
Any decorations – especially the rarer ones, such as a Service Crosses or a Silver Star – would give you a leg up on other veterans, so you should discuss the circumstances surrounding any decoration in a personal statement or an optional essay. Additionally, commissioned service, or serving as an officer, is viewed more favorably, as it carries with it additional training and leadership experience.
Showcase outstanding co-curricular achievements. If you have had a paper published in a recognized journal in your research field, or have won awards from recognized outside groups for your research, those are fantastic achievements to highlight on your law school application.
Obviously, the more widely accepted and cited your paper is, the more weight it will carry with schools. Similarly, being a recipient of a prestigious scholarship would also work in your favor, the more exclusive the better.
Play up work experience and relevant expertise. Think about how exclusive your position was to determine how much weight it will be given. Scooping ice cream is unlikely to move a needle much, but being a top-tier executive at a Fortune 500 company would be quite appealing to law school. The expertise, knowledge, determination and demonstrated work ethic are exactly what law schools expect from their students and alumni.
Similarly, being even somewhat-widely known in your field, perhaps by coming up with a new treatment as a doctor or a new approach to a common problem, should also be highlighted. Finally, some relevant, extensive work experience in a field relevant to legal field, for example, working as a chemist for a biotech company who is now looking to get into IP law, could also reflect favorably with the admissions committee.
Demonstrate your leadership experience in school. Even in college you’ll have a chance to shine in many capacities, but here too the specifics matter too. The more people relied on your guidance and the more pressure you were under, the better your application will look.

Asbestos is a problem in homes that a lot of people have heard about, but few understand. It is a mineral fiber capable of standing up to intense temperatures, added to a variety of products before people realized it was dangerous. It is now considered toxic waste, but previously was used in a some building equipment due to its low cost and heat resistance.
In the 1970s, the Environmental Protection Agency instituted a decade-long phase out of its use, but many older homes still contain the material. Asbestos is now considered a liability, and is sometimes the determining factor in whether a buyer will purchase a home or whether a mortgage company will provide a loan. If you suspect asbestos may be present in your home, it is important you contact qualified professionals to deal with the problem.
During the process of removing asbestos from the home, there is a chance the material will be disturbed and release the dangerous fibers into the air. This can also happen during home renovation products, and is dangerous enough to grind a project to a halt. It is when the fibers are airborne they become dangerous because they are small enough to be inhaled.
Studies have shown that exposure to asbestos may cause lung cancer, asbestosis, which causes the lungs to become scarred, and mesothelioma, a cancer in the abdominal cavity and lining of the chest. The risk of these diseases is increased based on the amount of exposure to asbestos.
If you suspect asbestos may be present in your home, consider the following:
- Was your home built between 1930 and 1988? It may have asbestos insulation.
- Was your attic or wall insulation made with vermiculite mined in Libby, Montana? This mine had natural deposits of asbestos that contaminated the vermiculite.
- Was your home built before 1988? It may contain textured paint and filling compounds that were made with asbestos.
- Do you have a wood-burning stove in an older home? Walls and floors were often protected with asbestos paper or cement.
- Do you heat your home with coal or oil? The door gaskets of the furnaces may have been insulated with asbestos.
Usually, asbestos is best dealt with by leaving it alone. However, if things are accidentally damaged, or if you intend to make home repairs that will disturb the asbestos, you will need to call on the services of an experienced professional to deal with the problem.
A professional will seal or cover the asbestos, if possible or appropriate. Sealing may involve applying a sealant that binds the fibers so they can not become airborne. Covering will involved placing something over the exposed asbestos to prevent the release of fibers.
An asbestos professional will conduct an inspection to determine the presence of the material. He will take samples of the suspected asbestos, and determine the best way to deal with it, based on the reason for removing or covering it. Be sure the company you are working with offers testing, assessment, and correction, or can use the services of qualified professionals to fulfill all of the three. It is important to know the company is adequately credentialed, as well as trained, reputable, and experienced.
There are laws concerning the abatement and removal of asbestos that the contractor must be aware of and abide by. When hiring an asbestos removal or abatement specialist company, ensure they:
- Include a visual inspection and collection and lab analysis of the asbestos
- Have no safety violations or legal actions filed against them
- Will be using the proper equipment and safety gear
- Supply a work contract so you can see their plan of action
- Will not track asbestos into other parts of your home
- Will not break materials into small pieces during the removal
- Will mark the work area as hazardous
When the job of asbestos removal is complete, a professional company will thoroughly clean the area with the appropriate technology and return it to normal, free of dust and debris. Restoration companies understand that the clean-up portion of a job is just as important as the removal, especially in the case of asbestos treatment. They also realize further air monitoring is a responsible precaution and will advise home owners on scheduling these services.
If you are concerned about the presence of asbestos in your home, or you know it is present and you will be disturbing it, contact a qualified, experienced service that will guarantee the safe abatement or removal of asbestos.
