Taking law school 1L classes online is probably not the experience many students are looking for.So some applicants may not want to attend online and choose to forgo their deposits instead.
And it's not surprising to me that schools would keep deposits in those circumstances - if applicants previously committed could withdraw without any penalty, I suspect many would do so.
Of course, a deposit may not be significant relative to tuition, but if applicants learned others were easily bowing out, they might follow suit.
As you can imagine, this would be an enrollment disaster for schools.
Keep in mind there are no guarantees of what awaits this fall. And why should you pay the same tuition for an online experience as an on-campus one?
If you want the in-person on-campus experience, it may be safest to hold off and apply this fall to start law school in 2021.
P.S. The ABA currently limits the number of credits that can be online (Standard 306), although there are proposed revisions to account for distance education.
