ASU uses LSAC/LSDAS and seems to be a pretty standard application process save for the "holistic approach" the admissions committee takes toward application review. Although it seems like everything is the same from the student's end, it does seem that the review committee looks at everything more equally in spite of a crappy LSAT score.

Available professors, small class size, tons of clinics, externships, and practical work opportunities.

Fun, tuition is reasonable, students are laid-back, easy going, and ready to lend a hand.

Yes

Practical experiences prepared me for practice. The law school offers a Patent Law Clinic in collaboration with the USPTO, Federal Circuit externship opportunities, and numerous practical courses, including patent drafting and patent licensing and enforcement.

My only complaint is that I did not get to experience the new downtown location.

The academics seem fairly solid. Just about all of the prof's are Ivy educated and some came here later in their careers after teaching at Top schools. Small class sizes were in when I was in school, although the Dean seems to be doing away with that with his trend toward more students (ie more $). Most 1L classes are still socractic, although relatively mild at that. I loved the law and science programs. If it were not for those classes, I would have transferred after finding out I was a top student after 1L year.

Yes

The law school is in one building and has its own library. Since ASU is such a large campus it is incredible that as a law student one doesn't have to deal with the undergrads. The library is very well lit with numerous windows to let in the daylight. The area is very student friendly and safe. The law school community is close nit and gets along quite well.

The admissions process is a whole file review, including LSAT, GPA, and a personal statement. The application form handles all of the information needed for school scholarships and is easy to fill out through the online file provided by LSAC/LSDAS.
