Research Proposal
The research proposal is by invitation only and is required for the committee to make a final decision on admission. The research proposal should be no longer than 20 pages, detailing the anticipated dissertation topic and its significance to legal scholarship, summarizing related research already undertaken and a list of sources, and outlining of the goals and fields of the research and the anticipated methods to be used in pursuit of the SJD.
Transcript evaluation. The transcript evaluation is required of all applicants who attended and received their degrees from any institution outside the U.S. The evaluation is not an English translation of the transcripts, but a separate document completed by a professional evaluation agency, which shows that the degree you’ve received or are pursuing outside the U.S. is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree or U.S. master’s degree. This requirement is waived for applicants with a bachelor’s, master's, or doctoral degree from an accredited U.S. institution. You are required to submit your official international education credentials (e.g. transcripts, mark sheets, degree certificates, graduation diplomas) and evaluation fee directly to any evaluation agency that is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES), or the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). You should request a General Evaluation with Grade Average. You should request your chosen evaluation agency to send the evaluation directly to Graduate & Professional Enrollment Management (GPEM) at gradapp@luc.edu, and that they send your transcripts along with your transcript evaluation. Transcripts received from these evaluators are considered official. Please note this is the preferred method to get your official transcripts to us.
The law school requires a minimum overall TOEFL iBT score of 95 with minimum scores of 24 in the writing and reading sections, or a minimum overall IELTS score of 7 with minimum scores of 7 in the writing and reading sections. The minimum test score for Duolingo is 125 and for the PTE it is 75.
Official transcripts should show a GPA of 3.0 or higher. In exceptional cases, applicants whose undergraduate GPA is below 3.0 may be admitted.
