Well, the university website says that the tuition fee is $12,078 PER SEMESTER, not per year. Which figures are correct?

Thank you BMW! Your research is correct, and our post has been edited to reflect the correct language.

What are the steps for applying? TOEFL? NO LSAT?

Any scholarships?


BTW, i am already a US citizenship, but with a foreign law degree.

If you were conferred your foreign law degree along with a practicing certification from a common law country such as:

Australia
Canada
Ireland
New Zealand
UK

...than the TOEFL will be exempt.

Hope this helps.
