<p>As a transfer student, is it against any ABA or LSAC rule to pay a seat deposit at one school, and then later decide to enroll in a different law school after paying the seat deposit? I know that the seat deposit will be lost, but other than this, will there be any serious violations? This probably goes without saying, but obviously once accepted in the new school, one would withdraw their application of the school the paid the deposit for. I ask because law schools notify candidates at many different times throughout the summer, and waiting for that "dream school" could cost you a seat at a decent school just by missing the seat deposit deadline....thanks allot in advance for any feedback.</p>

<p>If you double deposit, you are in violation. However, if you are on a waitlist and then get picked up off a waitlist, or you get admitted to another school later and deposit you are not in violation. You just lose the deposit.</p>
