Official Law School Transcripts: Applicants holding a J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school must submit a complete and official law school transcript. The transcripts should be sent directly to LSAC.
For international applicants: If you earned your first degree in law from an institution outside of the United States, Canada or Australia, you will need to provide a translat-ed copy of those transcripts from an organization such as WES, ECE to LSAC's LL.M Credential Assembly Service.

The minimum TOEFL score required is 100, the minimum IELTS score required is 7.0. Further instructions regarding submission of your applicable test scores may be found here.
