The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) has suspended providing services to some Iranian users

🔸The Law School Admission Council (LSAC), following a recent change in U.S. sanctions regulations against Iran, has suspended services to a number of Iranian users.

🔸LSAC is a nonprofit organization that, among other things, administers the LSAT test (the LSAT), the admissions exam for many law schools in the United States, and it also provides services related to applications to these law schools.

🔸In recent days, LSAC informed some of its users in an email that, due to a new decision by the U.S. Department of the Treasury regarding Iran sanctions, it can no longer provide some services to them.

🔸In response to Radio Farda, the organization said that the notice was sent in order to comply with U.S. sanctions rules against Iran, and that “people who may potentially have been affected” by these restrictions were made aware.

🔸LSAC also told Radio Farda that it resumed services to those who had “provided documentation showing that they are exempt from these restrictions,” but in its response it did not explain what exactly such documentation refers to.

🔸In at least some cases, providing proof that the person holds citizenship in a country other than Iranian citizenship—including U.S. citizenship—has led to the lifting of the restrictions.

🔸LSAC’s action followed after the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, on September 2 (Shahrivar 2), suspended Iran-related “General License G” for an indefinite period.
