     This letter will  constitute  our opinion  upon the legality of the sale by
CEL-SCI  Corporation,  a Colorado  corporation  ("CEL-SCI"),  of up to 4,761,905
shares of common stock, warrants to purchase up to 4,761,905 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.
333-186103)(the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission,  declared  effective by the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the
"Commission")  on February  28,  2013,  the  prospectus  included  therein  (the
"Prospectus")  and the  prospectus  supplement,  dated  December  19,  2013 (the
"Prospectus  Supplement"),  filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of
the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  Act. The  Prospectus  Supplement
pertains  to  an  underwritten   offering  (the  "Offering")   pursuant  to  the
Underwriting  Agreement  dated  December  19,  2013  between the Company and the
underwriters named therein (the "Underwriting Agreement").

       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 4,761,905 shares of common stock mentioned above, when sold in the
          manner described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the
          Prospectus  Supplement and in accordance with the terms and conditions
          of the  Underwriting  Agreement,  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  and  in
          accordance   with  the  terms  and  conditions  of  the   Underwriting
          Agreement, 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 and in accordance  with the
          terms and conditions of the  Underwriting  Agreement,  will be legally
          issued  and will  represent  fully paid and  non-assessable  shares of
          CEL-SCI's common stock.

                                                  Very truly yours,

                                                  HART & HART
