6.Good recommendation letters contain certain information.
Each recommendation letter should contain the name of the referee, the referee’s job title or description, and a short statement about how the referee knows the application / student and in what capacity (as the student’s professor, advisor, work supervisor, colleague).
Many topics would be suitable for a referee to include in a recommendation letter.
These topics include, for example, the referee’s comments on:
a. The student’s intellectual capacity, motivation, character, habits, work ethic, reliability, knowledge, expertise, and adaptability.
b. The student’s ability to perform academically, to analyze problems and conduct research, and to succeed in an intense year-long law study program.
c. The student’s maturity and judgment, temperament, ability to work independently, ability to get along well with others, flexibility and creativity, and leadership ability.
d. The student’s English language writing and speaking skills.
e. The student’s accomplishments (including awards, extra-curricular activities), whether the student’s current goals are reasonable, and the student’s past contributions, for example, to school, family, society.
f. How an LL.M. degree from the U.S. might contribute to the applicant’s ongoing work, professional development, or career goals.
g. How the student might contribute to the U.S. law school or its LL.M. program, for example, by bringing intellectual diversity or expertise in an esoteric field.
h. An honest assessment of the candidate, reinforced by specific examples rather than vague generalities.
i. Quality comments are important, perhaps more than the quantity of the comments. A recommendation letter need not be long.
j. Any other positive qualities about the student, the student’s background, the student’s abilities, and the student’s potential.
k. Any specific topics the U.S. law school might request comment about. |
