The June LSAT is administered on the current LSAC volume summary, with registration closing weeks beforehand and scores released on roughly three weeks after the test date. The June sitting falls near the start of a new testing year, giving applicants an early option ahead of the fall cycle.

The June LSAT for the current cycle is set for see the linked source (see the linked source). Registration closes weeks in advance, and scores post on roughly three weeks after the test date. Since LSAC publishes new dates each cycle, verify them on the official calendar rather than assuming they match a prior year.
June often sits at the beginning of a testing year, so a score from it is ready well before fall applications open, letting you apply as early as possible under rolling admissions. It also builds in ample time for a summer or early-fall retake if needed. For applicants finishing undergraduate coursework, June can follow the spring term with focused study time.
Because June frequently follows a spring semester, plan your preparation to peak as coursework winds down, hitting your target score in timed practice before test day. Register early to lock your date and format. Treat June as a primary sitting with a later fall date held in reserve, so a single result never becomes your only option.
June works well if you can study through the spring and want the earliest possible score for the next cycle. If spring commitments crowd out preparation, a summer date may serve you better while still keeping you early in the cycle. Choose the date that aligns with when you can realistically reach your target score.
Registering for the LSAT costs $253 (which includes LSAT Argumentative Writing) as of the current cycle. Beyond that, most applicants pay for the Credential Assembly Service (CAS) subscription and for any score reports not already included. Candidates who qualify financially can apply through their LSAC account for a fee waiver that reduces these charges.
LSAC sets three overlapping ceilings on LSAT attempts, covering a single testing year, the current plus recent testing years, and your lifetime total: no per-testing-year cap, five times within the current five-year reportable period, and seven times over a lifetime. Cancelled scores count toward them, so treat each sitting as one of a finite number rather than an unlimited retry.
Take the LSAT far enough before your application deadlines to leave room for one retake, which usually means testing in the summer or early fall of the year you apply. Because most law schools admit on a rolling basis, submitting a complete application early in the cycle generally improves your chances.
