     This letter will  constitute  our opinion  upon the legality of the sale by
CEL-SCI  Corporation,  a Colorado  corporation  ("CEL-SCI"),  of up to 1,320,000
shares of common stock,  warrants to purchase up to 330,000  shares of CEL-SCI's
common stock, as well as shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants,  all
as referred to in the Registration  Statement on Form S-3 (File No.  333-196243)
(the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "Commission")
on July 8, 2014,  the prospectus  included  therein (the  "Prospectus")  and the
prospectus  supplement,  dated October 21, 2014 (the  "Prospectus  Supplement"),
filed with the Commission  pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and  regulations
of the Securities Act.

     We have examined the Articles of Incorporation,  the Bylaws and the minutes
of the  Board of  Directors  of  CEL-SCI,  the  applicable  laws of the State of
Colorado, and a copy of the Registration Statement. In our opinion:

     o    the 1,320,000 shares of common stock mentioned above, when sold in the
          manner described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the
          Prospectus  Supplement,  have been  legally  issued  and these  shares
          represent  fully paid and  non-assessable  shares of CEL-SCI's  common
          stock;

     o    the warrants,  when sold in the manner  described in the  Registration
          Statement,  the Prospectus and the  Prospectus  Supplement,  have been
          legally issued,  are fully paid and non-assessable and are the binding
          obligations of CEL-SCI in accordance with the terms thereof; and

     o    the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants,
          when sold in the manner described in the Registration  Statement,  the
          Prospectus and the Prospectus  Supplement,  will be legally issued and
          will  represent  fully  paid and  non-assessable  shares of  CEL-SCI's
          common stock.

                                      Very truly yours,

                                      HART & HART
