Law School Admission Council

Law School Admission Council

The Law School Admission Council is a nonprofit organization whose members are more than 200 law schools throughout the United States and Canada. Its headquarters are in Newtown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania (about 15 miles north of Philadelphia).

In 1947, representatives from the University of Virginia, Harvard, Yale University, Columbia, and the University of Pennsylvania formed the Law School Admission Council to coordinate, facilitate, and enhance the law school admission process.

The Law School Admission Council is best known for administering the LSAT. It also operates a service called the Law School Data Assembly Service which assembles information on a law school applicant's undergraduate and LSAT performance into a standard report.
