Law School Reports

Most ABA-approved law schools use the Credential Assembly Service^SM (CAS) to process law school applications.

If you’re applying to a law school that uses CAS, your CAS Law School Report will include:

• An academic summary report, which serves as a convenient cover sheet for your credentials. This summary comprises all your undergraduate work and any work completed at graduate, law, or professional schools prior to the granting of your four-year undergraduate degree. (View your report on the “Transcripts” page of JD Services.)
• Your LSAT scores and writing sample.
• Copies of all your undergraduate, graduate, and law/professional school transcripts.
• Copies of any letters of recommendation you’ve selected.
• Other relevant information, such as prior matriculation.

You can get started with CAS in JD Services. Once you pay for CAS and provide consent for LSAC to handle your documents, you can begin compiling your documents online based on each school’s requirements.

Note: Your CAS Law School Reports cannot be released to law schools until you purchase CAS, provide consent for LSAC to handle your documents, add your institutions, and have a reportable LSAT score on file. CAS Law School Reports cannot be sent until all transcripts and required letters of recommendation are received.

Admission requirements vary for regionally accredited law schools. Some schools require the Credential Assembly Service^SM (CAS), others accept CAS, and some only require an LSAT score. The contents of your law school reports will vary based on each school’s requirements and your CAS status.

If you’ve purchased CAS and you’re applying to a school that accepts (or requires) CAS, your CAS Law School Report will include:

• An academic summary report, which serves as a convenient cover sheet for your credentials. This summary comprises all your undergraduate work and any work completed at graduate, law, or professional schools prior to the granting of your four-year undergraduate degree. (View your report on the “Transcripts” page of JD Services.)
• Your LSAT scores and writing sample.
• Copies of all your undergraduate, graduate, and law/professional school transcripts.
• Copies of any letters of recommendation you’ve selected.
• Other relevant information, such as prior matriculation. 

If you haven’t purchased CAS or you’re applying to a school that doesn’t use CAS, your LSAT-Only Law School Report will include:

• Your LSAT scores and writing sample.

Note: Your reports cannot be released to law schools until you have a reportable LSAT score on file, provide consent for LSAC to release your score, and pay the law school report fee. If you’re applying to a school that requires CAS, you must also purchase CAS, provide consent for LSAC to handle your documents, and add your institutions. CAS Law School Reports cannot be sent until all transcripts and required letters of recommendation are received.

Canadian law schools require an LSAT score but do not use the Credential Assembly Service^SM (CAS) to process law school applications.

You’ll need to purchase an LSAT-Only Law School Report for each Canadian law school to which you apply. This report will include:

• Your LSAT scores and LSAT Argumentative Writing sample.

Note: Your reports cannot be released to law schools until you have a reportable LSAT score on file, provide consent for LSAC to release your score, and pay the law school report fee.
