The Office of Admissions and many of our colleagues across the Law School community continue to work from home, consistent with guidance from local and state public health officials.

The best way to reach us is via our main email account: admissions@law.northwestern.edu. We will respond to your inquiry as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The Law School and the Office of Admissions will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday: Thursday, November 26th and Friday, November 27th. Our processing team will resume their work and inquiries will be addressed in the ordered received beginning Monday morning, November 30th. Please accept our best wishes for a safe and reflective holiday.
