As detailed above, a law school letter of recommendation should only be written by someone who knows the applicant well, such as a professor, employer, or another professional mentor.

Letters that reflect real knowledge of an applicant's performance and character are the most useful to the admissions committee and, therefore, to the candidate. One or two paragraph letters full of generalities, however complementary, are not particularly helpful.

In the best of all possible worlds, law school admissions committees would like to read that an applicant ranks in the top one percentile of students the recommender has taught during an extensive teaching career, or some similar stellar comparison with the applicant's peers.

Letters should be 1 to 2 pages long, written on letterhead, and signed by the recommender. They should be submitted directly to LSAC.

Most law programs require two or three reference letters for admission, although they may accept more than just three. While references from faculty members are ideal, law schools may seriously consider nonacademic references as well, especially if applicants have been out of school for several years.

The best LOR is a (strong) academic letter. A detailed letter from a professor outlining the rigor of the class(es) you took, how you excelled in them, describing your abilities as a student, is the best tool for law schools who are trying to ascertain whether you will make it through a rigorous law school curriculum.
