Law School Admission Test
Applicants must take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and request that the score be reported to the Law School. Registration for the LSAT must be made directly to the Law School Admission Council and applicants are encouraged to take the LSAT no later than February of the year in which admission is sought. The LSAT/LSDAS information book contains registration instructions and other helpful information about the LSAT. You may obtain this book from most four-year colleges or by writing directly to: Law School Admission Council, Box 2000, Newtown, PA 18940. You can also register on the the Law School Admission Council's website at www.LSAC.org.
Please note that you should give at least six months preparation for the LSAT. The LSAT is given nationally four times each year: February, June, September and December. LSAT scores are valid for five years.
Law School Data Assembly Service
Applicants must register with the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) for analysis of undergraduate college transcripts. Registration with LSDAS may be accomplished along with registration for the LSAT. It is the applicant's responsibility to see that official transcripts of his/her record from each college or university attended are sent directly to LSDAS. It is important to recognize that considerable time is required between the request for transcripts and a report's receipt. Any supplementary transcripts covering work completed after the initial registration with LSDAS should be submitted to LSDAS as well.
LSDAS reports submitted in a previous year are valid if they included all undergraduate work. If a previous LSDAS report did not include all undergraduate credits, an official transcript should be forwarded directly to the Law School's Admissions Office showing all work completed since the prior LSDAS analysis.
