Letters of Recommendation (LORs) are similar to transcripts. You do not submit the letters to schools you apply to yourself, but rather, LSAC does that for you.
Just as you would with your transcripts, you will need to log on to the LSAC website and click the tab LSDAS/LOR and click on the link Letters of Recommenation. This section of the website is sub-divided into LOR overview and the actual LORs themselves.
You will need to print off and fill out release forms which you give to your recommenders to submit with the letter of recommendation they submit on your behalf. There are two types of letters: general -- which can be sent out to any school -- and specific -- which is designed for specific schools.
Towards the bottom of the LOR page, there is a chart where you can add in the information about your recommenders. This allows you to track when your letters are received by LSAC and monitor which letters are sent to each school.
Below the Recommender tracker is the Directed Letters for Law Schools tracker. For every law school you apply to make sure to add the school on your tracker, and then send the releant LORs to that school.
(Note: your recommenders send the letters in on your behalf -- you will not see the letter before it is sent to LSAC.)

I like this post. I think it is a good topic to write about because letters of recommendation are a tough thing to figure out.
