Unless you have been living in a cave for the past few years (feel free to write your personal statement about the experience if you have), you have probably read at least one of the several hundred articles, op-eds, and blog posts written about the implosion...
Greetings from New Haven! I hope all of you had relaxing and productive summers. School has started and our new class has settled in, which means it's time to kick off the admissions season. The school year started in usual fashion with a weeklong...
Greetings from New Haven! School has started, the new class has settled in, and we're busy with recruiting trips and webinars. Although it doesn't seem possible to us in the Admissions Office (weren't we just reviewing applications?), the...
I wrote a few years ago in my post, The $42,000 All-You-Can-Eat Buffet , about the abundance of free food at the Law School. Three years later everything I mentioned in the post, except the price, still holds true. To help illustrate the importance of...
January at the Law School is guaranteed to bring three things: quiet , applications, and snow . In fact, it's snowing as I write this post. I enjoy winter, but I realize it's not everyone's favorite time of year. For those of you uneasy about...
Recruiting season has come to an end and we're happy to be back in our offices reading applications and making offers. During a recap of this year's recruiting visits and webinars we realized we received quite a few questions about our legal writing...
While walking through the law library recently (I admit I was there for the extensive DVD collection) I discovered display cases filled with the type of books one does not expect to encounter in a typical law library. From a distance, I expected the cases...
Greetings from New Haven! School has started, the new class has settled in, and we're busily booking recruiting trips, which means it's time to kick off the admissions season. The school year started with a week-long orientation for new students...
There are so many incredible speakers and guest lecturers that pass through the doors of the Law School that I admit I have become slightly jaded to the prominence and import of the visitors. Should I go to the Arianna Huffington lecture or catch up on...
In my blog posts I frequently make passing references to the numerous centers and programs at YLS. There are over twenty centers, programs, and workshops that focus on a wide range of subjects, from legal reform in China and legal topics in South America...
I hope 2010 is off to a good start for all of our readers. We've been busy reading your applications and admitting some of you (contrary to some rumors, we do, in fact, admit applicants). January is traditionally a great time to get a lot of work...
The Law School and Yale's School of Management (SOM) unveiled a pilot three-year joint degree program last spring for students interested in an integrated law and business curriculum. At the end of the three year Accelerate Integrated JD-MBA program...
Welcome back to 203! I hope all of you had relaxing and productive summers. As Dean Rangappa mentioned last week, the Admissions Office has some new things in store for you this fall including our Twitter feed and e-visits/webinars. While the e-visits...
One of the perks of attending law school at one of the world's premier universities is being able to take advantage of the academic, cultural, and social resources of Yale's other schools and departments. From taking classes in other departments...

Happy 2009! We here at 203 enjoyed our long winter break and now we're back reading files, admitting students, and writing blog posts. I'm going to start the year by addressing a subject about which I receive a lot of questions when I'm out...
Those of you who have spent time browsing our website are probably familiar, at least passingly, with the many centers and programs at YLS. By my count, eleven such organizations are currently sponsored by YLS. Centers and programs serve as intellectual...
Going green. Minimizing environmental impacts. Reducing carbon footprints. These are some of the latest catch phrases used by the media when describing sustainability and environmental awareness. In a world facing global climate change, increasing scarcity...
I can't believe that I'm once again writing a blog entry about the beginning of the school year. It seems like only a few short months ago I welcomed the Class of 2010 and now, here I am, writing about the arrival of the Class of 2011. The school...
As you might imagine, YLS students are a politically active group. Nothing makes this political involvement more apparent than an election year. It's impossible to walk down the hallways of YLS without seeing posters or overhearing conversations reminding...
This past weekend hundreds of law students, legal practitioners, and community activists from around the country descended on Yale Law School for the 14th Annual Rebellious Lawyering Conference. The entirely student-run conference, one of the largest...
To the outside observer Yale Law School is probably not the most likely of stops on a Boston Red Sox post-World Championship thank you tour. But when the Red Sox visited Connecticut last Friday, they made sure to stop by to thank their rabidly loyal YLS...

We know, we know. It seems that there’re just too many law school admissions blogs to read as you prepare to submit your applications this year. Given the amount of “required reading” you have – in addition to studying for the LSAT, writing essays, and...
