@r_jani24 said: Does this have any impact on making it easier or harder to get into the top schools mentioned (for the 2023-24 cycle)? Possibly. It means that their admissions decision-making processes are untethered from all the things we'r…

@canihazJD said: UNSWR has said they'll still rank those schools, no? Most of the info is made public on the ABA509. I imagine the methodology will just be adjusted. Yeah, they'll still rank them. The rankings just won't offer applicants the s…

Times posted for tomorrow! Hope to see folks for a productive day of work.

And on top of the demise of the rankings, the ABA has just announced that it will no longer require law schools to require standardized testing at all. We've anticipated this for awhile, but not in a context where the schools ignored rankings. Tbh,…

Happening today! Come see me and let's talk LSAT, admissions, and law school.

I don't want to inflate my own speculation by including it in the main post, so I'll leave it as a comment instead: If we look at the core of Dean Chemerinsky's complaint, it boils down to this: Their ranking penalizes schools that help student…

@markmywords said: Does one need an appointment for office hours or how does it work? Nope, it'll be open to everyone. I will post a zoom link at start time, so feel free to come right on in.

Umm. @"kseniia.melnikova" Constantine is correct about the test rule. Constantine is very much mistaken, however, to suggest that the fact you are not a native speaker has no impact on your LSAT performance. I've worked with dozens of ESL students…

A little unconventional maybe, but yeah, I'd call that an academic reference. He can vouch for your abilities in an academic setting, so I think he should be able to write a letter which would cover the main stuff admissions are looking for in acade…

Agreed with previous commenters. There's almost no circumstances in which the Jan LSAT would be a good idea. If you wrap up mid-December and start PT'ing and routinely score above your target score, then sure, go ahead. Depending on your diagnostic …
-
Really hard to say. There are probably some places where you could benefit and others where you wouldn't. If you're scoring below the 160's, then improving your fundamentals is likely a good focus, and a return to the CC may very well be a great way…

It can depend, but x being lower than y most typically means that x is to the right of y, which would normally be a higher number. It really depends though, so here's a couple examples: If the slots are in a ranked hierarchy, a ranking with a lower…

Office hours this Saturday! Come by and talk LSAT with me!

@LSAT_Athlete said: @"Cant Get Right" any input on this? I've definitely got some thoughts, lol. It sort of depends on how broadly or narrowly one defines specialization. Big Law is one very broad level of scope, and it does matter where yo…

Thanks to folks who showed up! I'm glad people felt free to come and go, and I think we all did a great job of focusing on our work. I know I did. While people were in, I really felt accountable and got a lot of work done. As soon as people left, no…

Is that article from pre-pandemic? Funny story. In 2019, LSAC bought tens of thousands of tablets in order to administer the test digitally at in-person test centers. The first all-digital LSAT was September 2019, lol. I think they might still send…

Happening today. Will be really low key, so feel free to join whenever. I plan to be on for around 4 hours, so anytime 3-7 cst.

New session this weekend!

None of them. It saves very little time when it works, and it can be really time-consuming when it doesn’t. Assuming strong fundamentals, it’s also just not as accurate as the alternative. (And assuming weak fundamentals, it won't help you anyway.)…

Congratulations! I can vouch for all of these tips—All critical things that were vital to my success as well. I can also second that @"Chris Nguyen" knows his stuff!

Well if you’re blind reviewing, you don’t know what you got right or wrong. So I’d start by recommending a review on how to BR which is how you should start your review. After BR, you should do a further review of wrong answers. For those, ask your…

Nicely done!

I should probably note before going any deeper into this that I haven't actually followed this case coming up before the Court. I've read news coverage, but none of the actual case materials or anything. So all of this--and everything above--is pure…

I’m not exactly a legal scholar either, but I do have a JD, have studied the affirmative action line of cases, and am pretty familiar with the general thinking of the current lineup of Justices. My prediction is that they will end the consideration …

Hang in there. Be stubborn. Don’t accept anything less of yourself than complete comprehension before you look at the explanation. If it feels overwhelming, that’s because it is. This test is really, really hard, and there’s nothing you can do to ch…
