Applying to law school through LSAC

Your LSAT score is one part of a law school application. Most US law schools also want your transcripts and letters of recommendation sent through LSAC’s Credential Assembly Service (CAS). As of October 2026 it costs $219 for five years, plus $45 for each school’s report. Canadian law schools and some US schools don’t require it.

What CAS does

  • Collects your transcripts, letters and other documents once, so you don’t send them to every school.
  • Summarizes your transcripts, and for degrees from outside the US, authenticates and evaluates them.
  • Puts all that together with your LSAT scores in one report for each school you apply to.

Letters of recommendation

  1. In JD Services, use Submit Request to send each recommender an email. They upload the letter.
  2. For a paper letter, print the LOR Form from JD Services. It has to come with the signed letter, or LSAC sends the letter back. Allow two weeks for LSAC to process paper letters.
  3. Mark what each letter is for, such as a specific school or general use, and assign it to each school. A letter you don’t assign isn’t sent.
  4. Check each school’s LOR requirements in JD Services. LSAC doesn’t set a number of letters, so that’s where you find out how many each school wants.

What makes a strong letter

LSAC says the most useful letters come from professors or supervisors who know you well and describe what you’ve done with candor and detail. Letters that compare you with your peers tend to help most. General praise usually doesn’t.

Your GPA and your LSAT

Schools see your LSAT scores next to the transcript summary CAS prepares. How much weight each one gets is up to each school, so a high LSAT with a lower GPA, or the other way round, is something to check school by school. LSAC fee waivers cover the CAS subscription and up to six law school reports.
