What is the CAS or LSDAS?
CAS stands for Candidate Assembly Service. Formerly, it was called LSDAS which stands for the Law School Data Assembly Service. It is offered by LSAC, the Law School Admissions Council. LSAC is the same organization that administers the LSAT exam. CAS is a service offered as a convenience to both applicants and law schools, and serves as a clearinghouse for the information and data necessary for applying to law schools. Your LSAT exam score will be reported to law schools through this service. It is also the mechanism that calculates all credits from all of your post- secondary institution transcripts into a cumulative GPA and compiles a complete record of your letters of recommendation. The CAS allows students to have one copy of transcripts and letters submitted on their behalf. A complete CAS report is then forwarded to the law schools at which you apply.
