Law Schools Without LSATs
Wall Street Journal | Editorial Board
“An arm of the American Bar Association (ABA), which accredits law schools, voted on Nov. 18 to end the requirement that prospective law students take the Law School Admission Test…The vote is pending approval from the ABA House of Delegates in February. If adopted, it would make standardized testing optional in preparation for a career that demands a lot of standardized knowledge.”
According to the WSJ Editorial Board, “The ABA decision is best understood as an attempt to get ahead of a possible Supreme Court decision against the use of racial preferences in school admissions…The irony is that giving up the LSAT is likely to harm students from less privileged backgrounds.”
