About the Credential Assembly Service
General Information: The Credential Assembly Service CAS (formally known as LSDAS) provides a means of centralizing and standardizing undergraduate academic records to simplify the law school admission process.
Nearly all ABA-approved law schools (and several non-ABA-approved schools) require that their applicants register for the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS). Canadian law schools do not participate in the CAS/LSDAS and do not require its use.
The CAS prepares a report for each law school to which you apply. The report contains information that is important in the law school admission process.
- Your report will include:
- An undergraduate academic summary
- Copies of all undergraduate, graduate, and law/professional school transcripts
- LSAT scores and writing sample copies
- Copies of Letters of Recommendation processed by LSAC
Your CAS period will extend for five years from your registration date. If you register for a Law School Admission Test (LSAT) at any time during your CAS period, the CAS period will be extended five years from your latest LSAT registration.
Under some circumstances,
the CAS requirement may be waived.
