<p>I am preparing to apply to law schools for Fall 2015. I graduated from undergrad in Spring 2013 and have not kept in touch with any of my professors. I am planning on asking for letters from some of my supervisors. I work in a Big 4 accounting firm and am curious if anyone has any insight into who would be best to ask: a manager who works more directly with me or a partner who is actually a lawyer?</p>
<p>Also, how detrimental is it that I won't be submitting a reference from a professor?</p>
<p>Thanks for the input.</p>
<p>Ask the person who knows you the best; that sounds like your manager. </p>
<p>I also believe that you should also reach out to get an academic reference ( you have not been out of school that long)</p>
<p>agree with sybbie.</p>
<p>While a professional school, Law School likes to think of itself as a bastion of academics. Not having at least one letter from an academic will (highly likely) be a negative to your app. If you were 10+ years out of undergrad, my recommendation would be different.</p>
<p>And yes, your daily manager who could speak about you.</p>
