CAS from LSAC is a rip off

[Dave Killoran]

It is mind-blowing what a level of incestuous monopoly has been created by the LSAC and law schools.

Not only do you have to pay $238 for them to send information to your law schools... You also have to ADDITIONALLY pay to get all of the information they're going to send to the law schools...AND You have to go do the work to get the information sent to them.

I could totally understand paying the fee to LSAC if their CAS teams were going and requesting your transcripts and such, but the fact that I have to go pay extra to do that...and this is the only way law schools will allow me to apply.

I mean in the modern era, just have your dev team create a web app portal that enables you to request all this information via the transcription clearing house(s) APIs, and have your letters of recommendation portal setup to enable people to post their LOR. This is child's play from a web development perspective.

What a rip off.
