����Ӱҵ

Welcome to the ����Ӱҵ Unite Platform (“����Ӱҵ Unite”). ����Ӱҵ Unite is a proprietary law school admission management system that is owned and operated by the Law School Admission Council and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “����Ӱҵ”). ����Ӱҵ Unite is a service provided by ����Ӱҵ to individuals, law schools, and other entities that facilitates admission-application design and processing, online file review, decision recording, deposits, applicant-pool monitoring, post-admit recruiting, and distribution of matriculant records to the registrar of the applicable school (collectively, the “Services”). ����Ӱҵ Unite is integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365 to offer applicant-school relationship management capabilities that enable each school to assist its applicants in their respective journeys from applicants to matriculants. Unless otherwise defined, defined terms used herein shall have the same meaning given to them in the Master Subscription and Services Agreement between your law school and ����Ӱҵ whereby your law school is granted access to ����Ӱҵ’s Unite Platform and related services as defined in such agreement (“MSSA”).
