Submit a Final Law Transcript indicating grades for all courses you wish to transfer to Emory Law, including all 1L spring classes and any courses taken during the summer of 2023. If you do not submit a transcript with all of your grades from your previous law school, you may not receive credit for them at Emory Law.If you are taking a summer course, you must follow up with the Law Registrar and the Office of Admission and providean updated transcript when the grade is available. Digital versions are preferred, either via your CAS report or emailed to jdadmission@emory.edu.

We recommend that you invest in a new notebook computer from a reputable manufacturer with a three-year warranty. Try to purchase a notebook computer that balances light weight and long battery life. Most exams are taken on computer and most faculty members permit students to take notes on computer in class. The law school supports both Mac and Windows systems.  
  7. Complete the Sexual Assault Prevention for Graduate Students All incoming Emory University students are required to complete the Sexual Assault Prevention for Graduate Students (SAP-G) education module. SAP-G is an online learning platform designed to empower you to make well-informed decisions about issues that affect your years at Emory and beyond. It takes approximately 45 minutes to complete (closed captioning is available for video portions). You will receive an email to your Emory email address with instructions on how to complete the module.
