Letters of Recommendation: My policy is to write only strong letters of recommendation for students. For law school and graduate school recommendations, a grade of A-minus or better in a seminar is the minimum. A lecture course is not sufficient, regardless of how well you did in it.

In general, requests for letters must be made at least 3 weeks prior to an application deadline to be considered.
