No, but you should have submitted an application to a law school by the time you apply to the Fellowship. 

Only candidates who are starting law school in the fall immediately after their Fellowship summer are eligible for internships with our law firm partners.

If you are looking to take the LSAT and apply to law school in 2024, for matriculation Fall 2025, you may be eligible to apply to SEO Law Catalyst – 2024 application opened October 2023!

The only eligibility requirements are those listed above with respect to GPA, test scores, work authorization and graduation date!

SEO Law takes a very expansive view of what it means to be “underserved” and encourages applicants to do the same. This can include different perspectives due to, but not limited to, an applicant’s race or ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, immigration status, veteran status, disability, religious affiliation, socio-economic status, experience with the criminal justice system, experience with the child welfare system, status as a first-gen college or first-gen graduate student, etc.

If you are applying to law school and interested in corporate law, we hope you submit an application!

Most updates to your Fellowship application such as resume, reference requests, test score, and law school admissions information, can be updated through your Fellowship application portal.

• Test Scores: if you indicated a future exam retake, your application portal will have populated a task titled “Update Test Scores”.

Please see the “Law School Information” task in your online application portal and indicate your final law school decisions, including the school you decided to enroll in. This will trigger a new task in your application portal titled “Law School Enrollment”. Please upload your supporting documents there.

Interviews will begin January 2024 and continue through the end of April 2024.

If you are selected for an interview, you will be prompted to schedule it at a mutually convenient time. 

Applicants can select cities for which they would like to be considered for and may mention firms of interest during an interview. However, SEO Law determines both the final city (out of those selected by the applicant) and the partner law firm the Fellow is placed at for the Fellowship.
