Stern's faculty pre-law adviser, Professor Jeanne Calderon, hosts information sessions for students interested in law school. Also during the fall, Professor Calderon is available to meet with seniors and alumni who are applying to law school to discuss the application process and to review personal statements. During the spring, Professor Calderon is available to meet with all students and alumni considering a legal career.

Some law schools request that applicants complete and submit a "Dean's Certification" form either during the application process or after an applicant has been accepted. This form is often used to determine if there has been any disciplinary action taken against the applicant. (While such an infraction is not an absolute bar to law school, it is critical that applicants are upfront about any problems).

If you are applying to a law school that requires a Deans Certification, please download, print out, and complete our certification request form and provide all materials specified in item IV of our form. After we receive the completed form and all materials in item IV (mailed or hand-delivered), it will take about two weeks for the certifications to be completed.

If you have taken a course from Professor Calderon or if you have worked closely with one of the Stern deans, you may ask one of them to complete the form on your behalf. As an alternative, you may ask one of them to write a full letter of recommendation for you.
