Apply as a J.D. Transfer Student
Yale Law School welcomes applications for transfer. Each year, almost 200 students from a broad range of law schools apply; we usually offer admission to 10-15 of them.
Transfer applications must be submitted between May 1 and July 1 of the year in which admission is sought. All applicants must have finished the equivalent of one year of law school at another ABA-approved school and meet the other eligibility requirements for transfer applicants. The admission process for transfer applicants is not rolling; all decisions are released the third week of July.

The application for transfer admission is only available as an electronic application through LSAC.
