WHAT IS EARLY APPLICATION TO LAW LINKS?
The early application process was created so that Law Links interns, who are hired by Johns Hopkins, have time to complete and submit the necessary documentation in time for the start of internship. If you are interested in working for the Johns Hopkins Legal Department, you must submit your application as part of the early application process.  

​Students who apply for early acceptance, but do not receive a position, will be automatically enrolled in the regular Law Links application process.
