     This letter will  constitute  our opinion  upon the legality of the sale by
CEL-SCI Corporation, a Colorado corporation ("CEL-SCI"), of:

     o    up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock;

     o    warrants to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock;

     o    up to 3,000,000  shares of common stock  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  January  13,  2016  (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 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, LLC
