Applicants must possess a bachelor’s degree from a college or university of approved standing prior to law school matriculation (no required discipline of study), a valid Law School Admission Test (LSAT) or GRE General Test score less than five years old and a completed application of admission with a CAS Report provided by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC).

All applicants, even those re-applying, must register with LSAC’s Credential Assembly Service (CAS), which requires that official transcripts from all schools attended be sent directly to LSAC. Applications should also be submitted directly to the University of San Diego School of Law as this expedites file consideration and ensures that the University of San Diego School of Law receives all application materials.
