It details application workflow through the Credential Assembly Service (CAS) and the LSAT requirements, including test structure, timing, scheduling, registration, and possible retakes. The guide also lists common prerequisite courses and explains how to approach program-specific personal statements and supplemental application materials.","PRE-LAW RESOURCES  \nWhen reviewing law school options, there are a variety of potential paths that students can choose to pursue; however, the most common is attending school to pursue a JD (Juris Doctor) . Once you have obtained a JD, you will then need to sit for the Bar examination (a multi-day test) to obtain a license to practice law in your state.  \nWhen considering law school, it can be helpful to have a sense of what type of law you wish to pursue, as that may inform your choice of schools. Many schools now offer concentrations is specific areas and some allow you to add a master’s degree in a complementary subject to your JD. Once you are ready to apply, you should carefully review the admission requirements for each program you plan to apply to and the guidelines on the Credential Assembly Service (CAS), which is the application portal used by schools run by the Law School Admission Council (  LSAC) . Other things to consider when applying to law schools include:  \n• You can view a list of accredited programs via the American Bar Association website.  \n• Law programs require applicants to take the LSAT, and required scores vary from school to school. Check with each program’s requirements on minimum scores.  \n• The median LSAT score is 152. See the Princeton Review website for information on LSAT scores in relation to law school admittance here.  \n• Most schools require applications to be submitted through the Credential Assembly Service, or CAS. You can make your account and seek more information here. It is important to know that some schools may require additional information, so be sure to check the admission procedures for each school to ensure you submit all the required materials and that they are sent to the correct location.  \n• Schools using CAS usually open their applications in September and October for admission the following fall semester.  \n• Many law schools use rolling admissions, which is when programs review applications and admit students as they receive their materials, rather than waiting to review all applicants after the deadline for admission has passed. It is important to apply early to have the best chances of being accepted.  \n• The entire application process takes a considerable amount of time, so it is good practice to begin preparing your materials before applications open.  \n• Many students take a gap year when preparing for law school in order to gain meaningful experience and study for the LSAT. Some types of experience that will increase the competitiveness of your application may include internships at a local law firm, legal research, public policy work, or volunteering with a nonprofit focused on providing legal assistance. If you are unsure of where to gain experience, talk with a pre-professional advisor or contact the programs you wish to apply for.  \n• Be sure to keep a record of all the schools you apply to, and the outcomes, as some states require this information as part of the Bar Examination.  \n• You can view more pre-law student resources and learn about Georgia College’s Pre-Law Society here.  \nPREREQUISITE COURSES  \nMost common prerequisite courses  \nIntroduction to Law – POLS 2350  \nLegal Research & Writing – POLS 3361  \nCivil Law & Civil Practice – POLS 3363  \nThe American Judicial System – POLS 3315  \nConstitutional Law I – POLS 4306  \nConstitutional Law II – POLS 4307  \nConstitutional Law III – POLS 4950  \nRequired prerequisites can vary from program to program. Be sure to check with each school of interest for their required courses.  \n**Talk with your academic advisor before choosing courses!  \nLSAT PREPARATION  \nLaw programs require prospective students to take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) . Many schools require you to take the test prior to December for admission the following fall semester, however, most recommend taking it as early as possible.
