LL.M. Credential Assembly Service (LLM CAS)
LSAC’s Credential Assembly Service consists of two parts: the Document Assembly Service and the International Transcripts Authentication and Evaluation Service. This service simplifies the application process by centralizing the submission of application materials. By utilizing the LLM CAS, applicants need only send one set of documents to LSAC, who will assemble and distribute reports to the participating law schools of you choice.
In order to access and submit our online application, you must purchase either the Document Assembly Service only ($75 USD) or the Document Assembly Service AND International Transcript Authentication and Evaluation Service ($200 USD total). Your Credential Assembly Service account will be active for five years.
- LLM CAS Document Assembly Service
Berkeley Law requires that all LL.M. applicants purchase and utilize the Document Assembly Service. Through the Document Assembly Service ($75 USD), LSAC will collect academic records, letters of recommendation, and English proficiency exam score(s) and distribute them to the law schools of your choice.
- LLM CAS International Transcript Authentication & Evaluation Service
The
International Transcript Authentication & Evaluation Service ($125USD in addition to the Document Assembly Service fee) is an
option for
applicants educated outside the US. This service is highly recommended but not required. Applicants using this service may arrange for official academic documents to be sent once to LSAC for evaluation, authentication and transmission to the participating law schools of your choice.
Please note that if you purchase the International Transcript Authentication and Evaluation Service, LSAC will not forward any documents to Berkeley Law until your transcripts are received, authenticated, and evaluated. Thus, if you do not intend to submit your academic records to LSAC, you should purchase only the Document Assembly Service.
