How do I want my name to read on my law school diploma? First Name, Middle Name, Last Name or just First Name, Last Name? :shrug:

What is standard on a professional diploma? I imagine this will be hanging on my office wall for many years and I want it get it right.

Pretty sure all my diplomas, including my law school one, have my middle name.

Thank you both. I just filled out the form and went with First Name, Middle Name, Last Name. That was my inclination but I hesitated when I saw that there was just one big blank line with no specific instructions.

I used my middle name (which is my maiden name) for my diploma and my license. If I hadn't kept my maiden name I would probably just use my middle initial.

Congratulations!
I do not think a middle name is necessary at all. Use it only if you like it.

In my case I do really like it, it is my grandmother's maiden name so I'm happy to include it.
