Writing Sample for JSD at Columbia

Graduate School Law School
1

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>Your suggestion on the following question is strongly appreciated.</p>

<p>I am now applying for the JSD program at Columbia, and come across the requirement that I have to submit the writing sample.</p>

<p>The instruction reads as follow:
7. Writing Sample
You must submit a writing sample originally written in English (translations of works originally written in another language do not qualify). Writing samples will not be returned. </p>

<p>I am now uncertain about the length of the writing sample that is normally submitted. I am thinking about revising my previous essay done during my LLM, and it is about 10 pages. Do you think this would be okay?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>

<p>Mmmm, probably not. Do you really think that submitting something you wrote for another program at another school is indicative of your interest in Columbia.</p>
