Admissions Committee Decision-Making Process
The Florida International University College of Law Admissions Committee seeks to enroll a diverse group of students who have demonstrated academic and personal achievement. The College of Law wishes to advance the intellectual growth of its students as well as their development of skills and values useful to the ethical, effective practice of law.

While a prospective student’s academic record and LSAT performance are weighted heavily in the evaluative process, the Admissions Committee considers other factors including leadership ability, commitment to public service, command of global issues, work history, military service, any history of criminality or academic misconduct and evidence of obstacles that an applicant may have overcome (for example, English is not the applicant’s native language, discrimination, economic or family hardship, severe medical condition, etc.) The Admissions Committee encourages each applicant to answer all questions with candor, detail and, where appropriate, specific examples of relevant background experiences.

Campus Visit
The College of Law understands the significance of the decision to attend law school and the differences between each law school's campus culture and environment, and therefore, encourages you to visit our community. Individual appointments and group informational sessions are scheduled throughout the year.

Accreditation
On December 1, 2006, the Florida International University College of Law received official notice that its program was granted full accreditation by the American Bar Association.
