Application for Admission
Juris Doctor Program

Individuals interested in determining their eligibility for enrollment in the Juris Doctor Program offered by William Howard Taft University may do so by completing the following form. Completing this form does not guarantee your admission to the Program and does not obligate you to enroll should you be accepted for admission.

You should carefully read the School's General Catalog, Juris Doctor Attorney Track and and the Juris Doctor Executive Track Catalog Supplement before completing this application.

There is no application fee unless you are applying as a special applicant or seeking transfer credit for prior law study in which case you will need to submit a $100.00 evaluation fee and copies of prior transcripts for our evaluation. All information you provide will be utilized for the sole purpose of determining your eligibility for admission to the School of Law. It will not be disclosed to any other party for any other purpose.

This Program is subject to enrollment capacity limitations. If you are accepted for admission to the Program, to guarantee your enrollment, you will need to pay an “Enrollment Commitment Fee” in the amount of $100.00.

This Commitment Fee guarantees an approved applicant’s admission to the Program at anytime within the next six months and locks in tuition at current levels during this period of time.

The Application can either be submitted online, by FAX, or by mail. It will take approximately fifteen minutes to complete this Application excluding the required writing sample. If you are submitting the Application by FAX or mail, you should print the Adobe file and utilize attachments if there is inadequate space on the form.
