The schools did, though.


And they still can. This doesn't change that. That's the part that you seem to keep glossing over because it's inconvenient to your position.

But hey, now you don't even have to get off your arse and take the test, and no one will ever know how unsuited for the legal profession you are.


If a school chooses not to require it, and that's the only school you want to apply to, then sure. If you want to attend any school that still requires it, then no. And considering that, even according to you, damned near every law school was previously using LSAT scores as a component to admissions, I see no reason why most law schools would move away from requiring it. It's simply not in their best interest to do so.

But of course you're right. They just changed this policy for no reason whatsoever.


I'm sure they have a host of reasons, both stated and unstated. Those reasons just have nothing to do with the ABA "lowering standards", because again, the ABA didn't have a "standard" in the area to begin with.

The part you seem to be glossing over is that the people who enacted this new policy said that before, with the test, there wasn't enough diversity. Now, with the test out of the way, there will be more diversity.

Weird, huh? Why would that be? If nothing changes and this is a nothingburger, why would they think that?

So, to recap, the people who changed this policy disagree with you. I just don't see how you think you have a leg to stand on here.

Right. My mistake. They're removing standards, not lowering them.
