All international graduates seeking admission to the Juris Doctor Program are required to have the Educational Testing Services submit an official TOEFL score report directly to the Juris Doctor Credential Assembly Service (CAS). Information about the service can be obtained at www.lsac.org. For admission to the JD program, the suggested minimum TOEFL score is 600 points on the paper-based test, 100 points on the internet-based test or 250 points on the computer-based test.
In some cases there is the possibility of waiving the TOEFL requirement. If you are from a country in which an official language is English, if you studied law at an institution that teaches only in English or if you have additional extenuating circumstances, you may submit a written request for waiver of the TOEFL requirement to jdinfo@sandiego.edu. In such a request, please explain the reason(s) for your request.
