Transfer Students


Students in good standing at other accredited law schools (ABA-AALS) may transfer to Emory Law after your first year if ranked in upper half of your class.


Quick Facts:

  • Part-time students must have completed the equivalent of a full-time first year curriculum at your institution.
  • Students ineligible for readmission to another law school may not transfer to Emory.
  • No credit is awarded for law coursework completed with a grade lower than C or its equivalent.
  • Transfer students will be credited with acceptable hours earned elsewhere.
  • You may graduate after successfully completing not less than four full semesters of residence and not less than 90 semester hours, at least 58 of which have been completed at Emory.
  • We begin accepting transfer applications May 1. Deadline is June 30.
  • Applications are only accepted through www.lsac.org.
