Harvard Law School (HLS) Junior Deferral Program Applications Opening May 1, 2025: The Junior Deferral Program is an excellent option for students who know they want to go to law school but want to explore other professional, educational, or service opportunities first. Through JDP, undergraduate students in junior standing (or the international equivalent) can apply to HLS as long as they are scheduled to complete all required coursework and graduate the following year. If admitted, they must commit to defer their matriculation date at HLS for at least two years after they’ve completed their undergraduate degree. Students can then use the deferral period to explore their interests and gain hands-on work experience before returning to the law school classroom. This year's application will open on May 1, 2025 and close on July 1, 2025. For more information on eligibility and the application process, please refer to their Junior Deferral Program FAQs or register for one of their virtual informational sessions.
