CapLaw Partners: FAQ

    1. What does the application process entail for an employee of a CapLaw Partner company? 

      Applicants applying as an employee of a CapLaw Partner follow the application process as outlined on our website. You will be required to take the LSAT, submit an application, and register with the Credential Assembly Service (CAS). As an employee of a CapLaw Partner your application fee is waived. Simply contact the Office of Admission at admissions@law.capital.edu and request a fee waiver. Be sure to state in your request that you are an employee of a CapLaw Partner company.

      To be eligible for the CapLaw Partner Tuition Discount, you must apply for and be admitted to our part-time evening or part-time day program. 

       
    2. I have used all of my eligible tuition reimbursement funds for the year, am I still eligible for the CapLaw Partner Tuition Discount? 

      Yes, the CapLaw Partner Tuition Discount matches the amount you are eligible for (up to $5,250 annually), not the amount you have remaining. 

       
    3. Are there any important dates that I should be aware of?

      Yes, there are several important dates you should be aware of.  First, Capital Law’s recommended application deadline is May 1. However, we will continue to accept applications until our class is filled. We will accept the June LSAT score for fall admissions. We recommend that you submit your application prior to the June LSAT. 

       
    4. Will I be considered for merit based scholarship? 

      Yes, all applicants are considered for merit based scholarship at the time of admission. Your total award (CapLaw Partner Tuition Discount and merit scholarship) shall not exceed the cost of tuition.

       
    5. What happens if I am no longer employed by the CapLaw Partner employer?

      The tuition discount is awarded on an annual basis. If after that academic year has come to a close and you are no longer employed by the CapLaw Partner employer, you will no longer be eligible to receive the tuition discount.

       
    6. How does Capital verify that I am employed by a CapLaw Partner company? 

      If you have been admitted,  you must send a letter from your HR department verifying employment to qualify for the CapLaw Partner Tuition Discount.

       
    7. I am not sure about attending law school--why would someone who is not interested in practicing law attend law school?

      A legal education is one of the most flexible, diverse, and useful advanced degrees available today. Many people who seek a law school degree never plan to practice law. A legal education is about critical thinking, work ethic, and managing conflict.
