Checking Your Law School’s Format
Law schools often require a specific title page and sometimes a declaration of originality. Use this design for a design copy and place the official front page behind it.
A Statement About Legal Advice
A thesis cover is not legal advice, and neither is this template. Do not state legal conclusions on the cover. Keep the title descriptive.
Printing the Law Thesis Cover
Print on 200 gsm cream paper to bring out the tan. A dark photo needs a good printer, so check shadow detail.

Using Italics and Capitals for Case Names
Legal writing has conventions for case names, statutes and treaties. The cover should use the plain title, but plan the inside style early so that references stay consistent across a long thesis.
A Declaration Page After the Cover
Many law schools require a declaration of original work and a table of authorities. Place them in the front matter and number the pages with roman numerals before the first chapter.
