What is the Candidate Referral Service (CRS)?
CRS is a free service that is available to you when you register for the LSAT. If you sign up for this service, a file will be made containing information regarding you and your background. Any law school may then access this information and contact you indicating that the school would be interested in having you apply. This would be likely to occur if you fit their “profile” of desirable students. This might be based on such factors as geographical background, educational focus, etc. Categoric traits such as race, gender, ethnicity are increasingly suspect under the law as permissible criteria on which to base admission or rejection decisions.
