Exceptions to the Credential Assembly Service (LSDAS) Requirement
For most candidates applying to US law schools, the Credential Assembly Service (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 or Australia, you need not subscribe to this service.
- If you are a transfer student, we suggest that you contact the law school in which you are interested to verify that the Credential Assembly Service (LSDAS) is required.
- Some non-ABA-approved law schools do not require the Credential Assembly Service (LSDAS). Please contact the school for information on application requirements.
- Some international students may not need to register for the Credential Assembly Service (LSDAS).
