When do people generally submit their applications for this?

Yeah, that's the one I went to, but the account doesn't show anything law related. I definitely put law as my interests and clicked the link that you provided.

There is no "Law Info" section on my profile like stated in that link. I will probably just shoot them an email.

Generally, people apply for this at the same time that they apply to law school since they ask for most of the same stuff. Based on what I've read, interviews begin in Feb. (or around then) and decisions are made in late April to early May with the program beginning in late May.

"So that's the initial application, if I remember correctly. I remember listing only law as my area of interest and when I logged in a day or two later, I had LSAT and Law School info fields waiting to be populated where I uploaded my PS and put in the schools I had applied to etc. Hope this helps."

If you can fit diverse aspects into your personal statement that helps.

corporate/business experience doesn't matter at all. The whole purpose of the program is to provide you with some experience in the corporate/business setting. They are somewhat prestige whores in terms of what school you are going to attend.

Saying hi. Relatively last-minute(ish) AA applicant (3.5-3.6, 170), coming to mostly complain - why on EARTH isn't the law school application like the common app? Seriously? Having to check these boxes for every single dang school only to have something ~slightly~ different change on them is so. Freaking. Annoying.
