What is the Credential Assembly Service (CAS)?

According the LSAC, the Credential Assembly Service (CAS) "simplifies" the law school admission process.  It is required to apply for law school.  It is the place where you send all your transcripts, letters of recommendation, and evaluations.  LSAC and CAS work together and combine all your documents, LSAT score, and writing sample to create a report for you.  When your completed application is received by law schools, the law school requests your report from LSAC.  It simplifies the application process in the sense that you submit all your information to one place instead of you sending individual applications to each school. It is to your benefit that you become familiar with the LSAC and CAS so that when you apply you know exactly what to do and where to send things.  It will ease your process. 

I will highlight the most important information you should know when you apply
