Applying to Law School Early Decision/Early Notification

I published this about a year ago, and it's suddenly time to talk Early Decision/Early Notification again.

Please keep in mind that I'm not sure Early Decision/Early Notification is worth getting very excited about. The decision you receive may just be "we've decided to defer your application to the regular admission cycle" or a waitlist decision. I like something I see Duke doing for "preferred" applicants and promising a response within 10 days of application completion, but even so - we'll see what those decisions end up being.
