Exceptions to the LSDAS Requirement
For most candidates applying to US law schools, the LSDAS is required, and it helps facilitate the application process. Under some circumstances, the requirment may be waived:
- If you are applying exclusively to law school(s) in Canada, you need not subscribe to this service.
- If you are a transfer student, we suggest that you contact the law school(s) in which you are interested to verify that the LSDAS is required.
- Some non-ABA-approved law schools do not require the LSDAS. Please contact the school(s) for information on application requirements.
- Some international students may not need to register for the LSDAS.
