Law School Reports
For a law school to receive your LSAT score and academic credentials from LSAC, you’ll need to purchase a law school report. A separate law school report is required for each school to which you apply.
Law school reports cost $45. You’ll pay the law school report fee each time you apply to a law school.
Reporting Included With Your Law School Applications
If you’re applying to ABA-Approved law schools
Most ABA-approved law schools use the Credential Assembly Service (CAS) to process law school applications.
If you’re applying to a law school that uses CAS, the school will receive a CAS Law School Report when you apply.
If you’re applying to other U.S. law schools
If you’re applying to Canadian law schools
About CAS Law School Reports
Your CAS Law School Report includes all information LSAC submits to law schools on your behalf. It includes a one-page cover sheet that summarizes your:
GPA information
LSAT Argumentative Writing sample
Misconduct or irregularity status
The CAS Law School Report will also include your cumulative GPA from the undergraduate institution from which you graduated, your LSAC-calculated GPA, and a breakdown of your GPA trends year by year and by the number of credits earned per letter grade. If your degree-granting institution has enough law school applicants, the CAS Law School Report will also include a breakdown of how your LSAT score and GPA compare to other test takers and applicants from your school over the past three years. This can provide insight to the schools about the competitiveness of your undergraduate institution and your readiness for law school. This cover sheet is provided in addition to the documents themselves, so schools will review both the CAS Law School Report and the actual transcripts.
If an applicant is found to have committed misconduct or an irregularity in the application process, all relevant paperwork having to do with their investigation and hearing will be included with the CAS Law School Report.
It’s important for you to know that LSAC’s misconduct and irregularities subcommittee does not make any recommendations about admission decisions. Its role is solely to provide additional context to admission professionals. Any documents related to the investigative process, including transcripts of any hearings, will be submitted along with your application materials to the law schools to which you apply. However, this whole process can be avoided by taking the application process seriously and submitting documents that are carefully proofread, authentic, and accurate.
As always, if you do not understand part of the process or what is being asked of you at any point in the application process, you can reach out to LSAC or the law school to which you plan to apply.
