Many of us will accept one offer but will reject the offers, and many have already done so...
What do you write ? Do you just send an email rejecting the offer, or do you sumbit the paper and indicate which law school you have chosen ?
Can anyone provide me with the format/example of what they have written to the law schools when they rejected their offer ?
Thanks.

I'm also very interested in knowing how to write these letters... indeed should we say where we are going instead ??

why bother? just tell them you have got better offer and are not interested in theirs. good luck on finding other students.
they say the same thing and don't care about hurting people's feeling when they send rejection letters do they ;)

I will prefer to write a thank you note to the Dean of the law school briefly explaining my reasons for choosing a different school.
they also understand and are fully aware that candidates need to keep their options open. some of the schools rather require you to confirm acceptance before taking a final decision.

You might want to write something like this:
Dear Dean _______,
Thank you for your offer of admission for the LL.M. program.
Your university certainly has an impressive reputation and background and I personally wish you great success with the admissions process. I am sure you will be able to recruit great candidates!
Unfortunately, and regardless of your university's great credentials, I am not in a position to accept your offer.
I appreciate your interest in me and extend my best wishes yo you for a successful admissions process.
Very truly yours,

Do you think deans from U.S. law schools are going to read hundreds of letters from applicants rejecting their offers? Having turned down offers to J.D. programs in the United States, I would suggest filling out the provided form or making a quick call to the admissions department. Don't give them an explanation unless they ask for one. There is no need to waste your or anyone else's time.

Agreed
If a school gives you the option to decline by checking a box and whatnot, just do that
