Job shadowing is a short-term experience that can last an hour or a day that allows you to learn more about careers or occupations that you are interested in. It can help you in your career decision-making process by allowing you to experience a career first-hand to see if it might be a good fit for you.

Access to LSAC’s Letter of Recommendation (LOR) service is included in Credential Assembly Service (CAS) registration. This service allows you to manage your letters of recommendation through your LSAC.org account.
