Headquartered in Newtown, Pennsylvania, the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) is a non-profit corporation whose goal is to provide the highest quality admission-related services for legal education institutions and their applicants throughout the world.

More than 220 law schools in Canada, the United States, Australia and a growing number of other countries benefit from LSAC’s services. These services include:

• the Law School Admission Test (LSAT);
• the Credential Assembly Service (CAS) encompassing letters of recommendation, electronic applications, and domestic and international transcript processing for JD and graduate law degrees;
• the Candidate Referral Service (CRS);
• LSAC Ambassadors Program;
• admission office systems and software;
• research and statistical reports;
• websites for law schools, applicants, prelaw advisors, and undergraduates from minority groups underrepresented in law school and the legal profession; and
• testing and admission-related consultations with legal educators worldwide; and various publications, videos, and LSAT preparation tools.

The Law School Admission Council is best known for administering the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), and administers about 100,000 tests a year. With the help of volunteers representing its member schools, LSAC provides a growing number of important services and programs for law schools and their applicants. However, it does not assess an applicant’s chances for admission to law school; all admission decisions are made by individual law schools.
