In the event of multiple LSAT scores, the admissions committee will consider the highest of all scores reported. The admissions committee will not consider an LSAT score if more than five years have passed since the date the test was taken.

Summer Performance-Based Admission Program (PBAP)
All applicants not offered direct admission to the fall class are considered for admission to the Performance-Based admission Program (PBAP). Those accepted into the PBAP program attend a seven-week session of summer school where they will take two law courses (taught by full-time faculty) designed to assess the student’s ability to handle the rigors of legal study. These classes do not count toward law school credit.

Upon completion of the summer session, participants who have achieved satisfactory academic performance will be admitted into the fall class. Students may not defer enrollment into PBAP and students granted seats in the fall class through PBAP may not defer their enrollment.

Foreign-Educated Applicants
Campbell Law School requires that any foreign transcripts be submitted through the LSAC JD Credential assembly service (JD CAS). If you have completed any postsecondary work outside the US (including its territories) or Canada, you must use this service for the evaluation of your foreign transcripts.

The JD CAS service is included in the CAS subscription fee. A foreign Credential evaluation will be completed by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and admissions Officers (AACRAO), and will be incorporated into your CAS report.
