     This letter will  constitute  our opinion  upon the legality of the sale by
CEL-SCI  Corporation,  a Colorado corporation  ("CEL-SCI"),  of up to 17,826,087
shares  of  common  stock,  warrants  to  purchase  up to  17,826,087  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.
333-184094) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     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  17,826,087  shares  of common  stock  mentioned  above  have been
          legally   issued   and  these   shares   represent   fully   paid  and
          non-assessable shares of CEL-SCI's common stock;

     o    the   warrants   have  been  legally   issued,   are  fully  paid  and
          non-assessable and are the binding obligations of CEL-SCI; and

     o    the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants,
          when the warrants are exercised in accordance  with their terms,  will
          be legally  issued and will  represent  fully paid and  non-assessable
          shares of CEL-SCI's common stock.

                                             Very truly yours,

                                             HART & HART

                                             /s/ William T. Hart
