I am applying to law school and I was wondering if there is a specific format that these schools are looking for. What exactly do they want the letters to say aside from the typical "I am reccomending this person because ,,, ". I am asking because the schools that I am applying to are not that forthcoming with this sort of information. Thank you.

Schools aren't forthcoming because there are no requirements. You use the letters to show you have people who can vouch for your worthiness. Worthiness can be in anything. Leadership skills, honesty, academic prowess, whatever. Stories and examples work better than someone simply saying "So and so is great."

There is no required format, generally. The best recomendation letters will discuss your skils/work ethic and your character. Specifics are always best, and a letter from a professor or former employer is always better than from your friend's mom, or your uncle. Just think about what makes you a good candidate for admission, and find someone who has experienced those same qualities in you.

I only went by using this technique this final wintry climate... I mailed each professor preadressed (and stamped) envelopes to all the colleges. so as that they wrote the letter of advice then only positioned it in the preadressed envelopes I gave them and that they only positioned it in the mail. the difficulty with a usual letter is that many colleges certainly have particular varieties they want the profs to fill out particularly of a written letter. good success
