Vienna, Virginia  22182


     This letter will  constitute  our opinion  upon the legality of the sale by
CEL-SCI Corporation, a Colorado corporation ("CEL-SCI"), of warrants to purchase
up to 2,673,913  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   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
