LawHub

Tap a star to rate

LawHub is the online learning and preparation platform of the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), the organization that runs LSAT registration, testing and scoring as well as the JD Services and Credential Assembly Service applicants use to apply. It is a learner product for three stages of the same path: people considering a legal career, applicants preparing for the LSAT and applying to law school, and students about to start or already in law school. LSAC's home page describes LawHub as "the one-stop destination for anyone interested in a career in law." The LawHub page frames it as a single account that follows a candidate from test prep through application to the first year: "Prepare for the LSAT, get ready to apply, make the transition to 1L, and succeed in law school."

LSAT preparation

The central feature for a test-taker is the chance to practice for the LSAT "in the authentic test interface," as the LawHub page puts it. The paid tier adds what the page calls "an extensive library of Official LSAT PrepTests," so the practice material comes from the test's own publisher. Around the practice tests, LSAC's Prepare for the LSAT section lists further study material: LSAT practice tests, a Strategy Booster, a set of multiple-choice LSAT questions, and guidance on getting ready for LSAT Argumentative Writing, the test's writing component. LawHub also points candidates to outside help, letting them find LSAT prep providers and other products and services.

Because LSAC runs the test itself, the surrounding information comes from the source. Its LSAT pages cover the test's specifications, policies and the candidate agreement, disability-related test accommodations and remote testing exceptions, registration, test dates and costs, how to schedule a testing time, a test day checklist, acceptable ID, the 10-minute intermission, score release dates, the LSAT Score Preview option and retaking the test. The LSAC site calls the LSAT "the only test accepted by all ABA-accredited law schools" and "The Single Best Predictor of First-Year Law School Performance."

Applying to law school

LawHub reaches past the test into the application itself. App OnTrack is described as "a guided action plan that brings structure and support to the application process," promising "clear steps and thoughtful pacing" so applicants can build an application "with confidence and purpose." Any LawHub account can create a personalized list of schools to find one that fits the applicant's goals, and the paid tier adds an Application Status Tracker to "Monitor your law school applications conveniently and securely."

LSAC's wider application tools sit alongside. Its school-choice pages include Find a School, the Official Guide to ABA-Approved JD Programs, the Official Guide to Canadian JD Programs, the Official Guide to LLM, Master's, and Certificate Programs, an LGBTQ+ Guide to Law Schools and the Candidate Referral Service. The application section covers JD application steps and requirements, the Credential Assembly Service, and separate tracks for LLM and other law program applicants. Applicants planning around their academic record should note a recent LSAC announcement: changes to how LSAC calculates GPA have been delayed until summer 2027 to give candidates and schools time to adjust. A Paying for Law School section covers eligibility, financial aid options, applying for aid, and student loan and debt resources.

LSAC Law School Forums let candidates "Connect with 100+ law school representatives in one place," held in cities and online. LSAC also runs access programs listed on the site, among them the Plus Program, resources for applicants with disabilities and for international students, and pages on LGBTQ+ applicants and rural access to justice.

Getting ready for 1L

For those still deciding, LSAC's Discover Law section explains the types of law programs (JD, LLM, master's and legal certificate programs), fields of law and what to expect in law school, and offers top 10 prep tips, free resources for aspiring law students and a way to find a prelaw advisor.

The third stage is law school itself. Any account can enroll in on-demand courses and learn on its own schedule, watch free LawHub webinars about the test, legal careers and school choices, and hear lawyers describe their experience of the profession. The paid tier adds courses that help students "learn 1L key terms and vocabulary" and Ultimate Law School Prep, pitched at succeeding "in your first year of law school and beyond." For readers who like to follow the admissions market, LSAC publishes a data library on the current admission cycle that it says is updated daily, a podcast called Keeping Up to Data, the Law:Fully blog and a research library.

Accounts and pricing

There are two levels:

  • A free LawHub account. Candidates already registered for LSAC's JD Services sign in with the same username and password; anyone else can "register for a free LawHub account" at LawHub.org.
  • LawHub Advantage, $124 a year. It adds the library of Official LSAT PrepTests, the Application Status Tracker, the 1L vocabulary courses and Ultimate Law School Prep, "and more."

The LawHub page publishes one price and one billing period: $124 a year. For questions about LawHub or Advantage, the page gives an LSAC email contact. On the institutional side, LSAC lists LawHub E-Learning among its resources for law schools, alongside legal education consulting.

Who it suits

LawHub suits anyone planning to sit the LSAT, because practicing in the test's own interface and on official PrepTests is the most direct preparation available. A first-time test-taker can start with the free account to learn the format and try the interface, then decide whether the Advantage library is worth $124 a year for the months of study ahead. Applicants get a second reason to keep the account open once the test is done: App OnTrack, the school list and, with Advantage, the status tracker all serve the application season. Admitted students can use the 1L courses to arrive at orientation already familiar with the vocabulary. Candidates who need testing accommodations, who plan to retake, or who are applying from outside the US will find dedicated LSAC pages for each situation, and Canadian JD programs have their own official guide.

It is not a coaching service. The pages describe self-study tools, official material and information rather than instructors, live classes or tutoring, so candidates who want a teacher can use the prep-provider listings LawHub links to. LawHub is built around the JD path and the LSAT; LLM and master's applicants will find guides and application pages on the LSAC site, but the test-prep side is for the LSAT alone.
