New Application, No Fee
As we announced last fall, Harvard Law School (HLS) has reduced application costs for the Junior Deferral Program (JDP) as part of our continued efforts to expand access to legal education. We have eliminated the JDP application fee and have created a new online application that allows students to apply to the program free of charge directly through our website. These updates will save applicants the cost of registering for the Law School Admission Council's Credential Assembly service and reduce costs associated with submitting LSAT or GRE scores to HLS.

How to Apply
Students interested in applying to JDP this year should:
• Visit our website to learn more about the application timeline, application components, and answers to frequently asked questions.

• Create an account through Harvard Law School's online application and apply by May 1, 2020.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected] with any questions that you or your students might have.
