祝贺你! You are about to begin one of the most exciting chapters in your life. Law is a demanding, noble profession offering the potential for a rewarding and fulfilling career. We want to make sure you have all the information you need to start your journey. To get started, here's what you need to do:
1. 索取官方成绩单
如果您尚未要求将最终正式成绩单发送到LSAC的证书组装服务 从每一个 educational institution attended since you graduated from high school, then you should do so as soon as possible. 一旦所有成绩单经过认证，服务部将向我们提供收到的证明. If you need help, the LSAC website has additional information about requesting transcripts.
在入学之前, 至少一份成绩单必须表明从美国教育部认可的认可机构获得的学士学位. If you will earn a degree after you requested a transcript initially, 那么你必须申请一个新的, updated transcript be sent to the Credential Assembly Service once the degree has been awarded.
If you or a sending institution has questions, please contact us at 865.545.5304 or 法律.admissions@LMUnet.edu
2. Disclose Changes to Applicant Data
所有的学生都有义务通知我们你在法学院申请中所包含的信息的任何变化. Breach of this disclosure obligation could result in sanctions. This includes any changes of address, 电话号码, 电子邮件地址, 逮捕, 金融义务, 票, you become party to a 法律suit, 等. Should something change, simply write a complete explanation and send it to us.
We cannot overemphasize the importance of this obligation. 对尴尬的恐惧或对酒吧入学的担忧往往促使学生隐瞒别人可能不愿透露的个人信息. 然而, 在有披露义务的情况下隐瞒这些信息是一种不当行为会让人对你的性格和是否适合从事法律工作产生怀疑. 你计划参加律师资格考试的州的律师考试委员会要求你接受犯罪和财务背景调查. You will have to explain any discrepancies between these search results, the contents of your bar application, and information in your 法律 school file. Failure to account for any inconsistencies may prevent you from bar admission. 因此, 未能在学习期间向我们披露信息不仅违反了我们的行为准则，而且可能危及您参加州律师资格考试的资格.
