Because Obama’s sons and daughters can’t pass the LSAT! Next the medical schools will drop the MCAT.
“...Because Obama’s sons and daughters can’t pass the LSAT...”
Exactly. I just read “The Bell Curve”. Our own daughter scored fairly well on the LSAT and ended up in a top 50 (top tier) law school and is now working in a law firm in NYC. This process is meant to separate and sort the chaff from the wheat. We cannot have dumb lawyers. It won’t work and will create chaos throughout the entire legal system.
I am aware that lawyers are often hated, but in their defense, many are ethical and high intelligence is needed along with a well developed ethical conscience to form the best possible advocates. Think of Thomas More Society type lawyers for example. To dumb the process down makes it meaningless.
Will they dumb down the bar exams next??
Lest I seem racist (I am not) - there are qualified “diverse” students that do well on the LSAT - so what if there are less of them? How about quality instead of quantity? Why do numbers matter so much? (rhetorical)
