About Transcripts
Have each college, law school, and/or graduate school you have attended provide you with one official transcript of your academic record (or the nearest equivalent documents listing your courses and corresponding grades), and, if available, a statement of your rank in class and the size of the class, in a sealed envelope, signed across the seal. Do not send copies of certificates or diplomas.

If original documents are not available, please supply certified copies of the original documents. If the registrar will not give you the official documents, please have them mailed directly to the LL.M. program at Yale Law School.

For schools that do not provide official transcripts, you should provide one of the following:

* Letter from a school faculty member/tutor/official indicating the courses taken and grades received
* Student Reported Record of Study (from Germany).

As an alternative, international applicants can register with LSAC’s LL.M. Credential Assembly Service; this service will authenticate non-U.S. or Canadian academic credentials.
