Personal Statement
Georgetown Law does not have a minimum or maximum length for the personal statement, though we recommend around two pages double-spaced. You can write your personal statement on any subject that will enable the Admissions Committee to get to know you.

Applicants should complete the top portion of the form. The bottom portion of the form should be completed by the appropriate university official. The form should be sent directly to our office from the university official’s office. Forms sent directly by an applicant will not be accepted.
Conduct Statement (if applicable)
If you answer “yes” to any of the conduct questions in the application, please explain fully in an attached statement.
Optional Statement
At Georgetown Law, we have always taken great pride in having an admissions process that focuses on the individual – We do this one at a time. If you would like to share any additional personal perspectives, reflections, or experiences – whether positive, challenging, a combination of both, or something else entirely – that have contributed to who you are as a person and as a future legal scholar and lawyer, we invite you to do so in an additional statement.
