If you are not certain that you will be applying to law school, you could wait to register with CAS until you decide that you are applying.

After registering, a candidate must send CAS an official transcript from every institution they attended. CAS will then compile it into the standard format for reporting. You can also upload your personal statement, along with law school application forms, to CAS. Your recommenders will send their letters of recommendation, along with the recommendation forms, to CAS. So, instead of re-creating an application for each school you apply to, CAS allows you to collect the information in one place and disseminate it to each law school you are interested in.

If you are looking for information about the availability of clinical and externship which are the same as internships programs, public interest curricula, scholarships and loan repayment assistance, and public service programs, you can utilize the E-Guide. The Equal Justice Works Guide to Law Schools allows users to explore individual schools in-depth or easily compare schools based on the criteria most relevant to them.

NALP provides information and assistance in the areas of legal career counseling, planning and recruitment, as well as legal employment and professional development. NALP has a directory of law schools. NALP also has a directory of legal employers , which can be helpful if you are interested in working for a particular employer or have a particular job in mind.

Or is it best to just check the decline to respond box altogether? I provided my ethnicity. The way individual schools treat ethnicity isn't clear. If you choose to decline to answer, I speculate that there are no advantages. Outside of law school, some hiring managers have told me it's a slight disadvantage choosing to decline to answer.

Don't worry about it. Plenty of Caucasian folks—who report their ethnicity—get into top law schools. The only reason I would decline to answer and I'm always close to doing so is on principle.

For example, if you don't feel like any of the categories accurately describe you it might be a reason to refuse to answer.
