What is the LSDAS?
LSDAS stands for the Law School Data Assembly Service. Most ABA-approved law schools require the LSDAS. If you are a foreign-educated candidate, and you are not applying to any school that requires the JD CAS, you are not required to register for LSDAS. However, you may choose to register for LSDAS if you wish to use the electronic application or the letter of recommendation service. (Source: Law School Admission Council Website: www.LSAC.org) The Service assembles the following information in reports, which it sends to schools you apply to: Your report consists of data such as your undergraduate academic summary, your LSAT score(s), copies of your transcript(s), writing sample, and letter(s) of recommendation (if you use LSAC’s letter of recommendation service).

The Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS™) processes applicant information for submission to law schools. LSDAS prepares a law school report that will be sent to every law school in which you apply. The report includes an undergraduate academic summary; copies of transcripts, LSAT scores and writing sample copies, and copies of recommendation letters processed by LSAC. You must pay a registration fee for LSDAS, which includes preparation of the law school report, processing of transcripts and recommendation letters, and an online law school application service.
