Application Material（申请材料）：
1，Application Form（申请表）：
It is very helpful for you to provide as much information as possible on the online form itself before referring the reader to attached materials. Give as much information as possible in the space provided, and attach additional pages or electronic attachments if you need additional space. Please answer all questions and sign the form or Certification Letter.
2，Résumés（简历）：
We require a résumé as part of the application.
3，Personal Statement（个人陈述）：
The personal statement provides an opportunity for you to present yourself, your background, your ideas, and your qualifications to the Admissions Committee. Please limit your statement to two pages using a minimum of 11-point font, 1-inch margins, and double spacing.
The personal statement is intended as an opportunity to give the Admissions Committee a better sense of who you are as a person and as a potential student and graduate of Harvard Law School. In many instances, applicants have used the personal statement to provide more context on how their experiences and strengths could make them valuable contributors to the Harvard and legal communities, to illuminate their intellectual background and interests, or to clarify or elaborate on other information in their application. Because applicants and their experiences differ, you are the best person to determine the content of your statement.
4，Law School Admission Test (LSAT) （法学院入学考试）and Credential Assembly Service (CAS)（法学院院入场委员会）：
All applicants to the J.D. program must take the LSAT and must register with the Credential Assembly Service. Visit the LSAC website at http://www.LSAC.org for information. An LSAT score taken within the past 5 years is considered valid.
You must also register for the Credential Assembly Service and have all undergraduate and graduate transcripts sent to LSAC.
5，Recommendation Letters（推荐信）：
Letters of recommendation must be submitted through the LSAC Letter of Recommendation Service. Two letters of recommendation are required, but you may submit up to three. We strongly recommend that at least one letter of recommendation come from an academic source. Our experience is that two thoughtfully selected recommenders are likely to be more effective than several chosen less carefully. Your application will be treated as complete with two letters of recommendation.
6，Character and Fitness Questions（性格和健康问题）：
Your application to Harvard Law School includes a set of Character and Fitness Questions. In addition to a bar examination（律师资格考试）, there are character, fitness, and other qualifications for admission to the bar in every U.S. jurisdiction. Applicants are encouraged to determine the requirements for any jurisdiction in which they intend to seek admission by contacting the jurisdiction. Addresses for all relevant agencies are available through the National Conference of Bar Examiners.
7，College Certification（大学认证）：
While not required as part of the application process, college certification(s) will be required from admitted students prior to matriculation. The College Certification will be filled out by an official from your school to confirm your degree as well as to confirm the responses you provided on your application to your character and fitness questions. If you have any questions about how your college will answer these questions, please contact your college's Registrar or Dean of Students office.
8，Optional Statement（可选陈述）：
The Admissions Committee makes every effort to understand your achievements in the context of your background and to build a diverse student body. If applicable, you may choose to submit an optional additional statement to elaborate on how you could contribute to the diversity of the Harvard Law School community.
9，Additional Information（附加信息）：
We encourage you to provide any relevant information that may be helpful to us in making an informed decision on your application. Any information that you believe to be relevant to your application is appropriate. Examples of information that may be relevant to individual cases include unusual circumstances that may have affected academic performance, a description or documentation of a physical or learning disability, an explicit history of standardized test results accompanying a strong academic performance, or a history of educational or sociological disadvantage.
If a close relative has attended HLS, you may attach this information in an addendum.
10，Interviews（面试）：
During the application review process you may be invited to interview. These interviews will happen throughout the admissions cycle. The Admissions Office will contact you directly to setup an interview.
Interviews are conducted using Skype - a videoconferencing system. As always, we will accommodate individuals who may be unable to conduct their interview in this manner. If there is a reason that Skype would not work for you, we will work with you to find an alternative. However, our expectation is that Skype will be used for the majority of the interviews we conduct.
