The American Bar Association voted to drop the LSAT and other standardized tests as requirements for law school admissions. An ABA panel made its decision on Friday after noon after a committee recommended the testing requirements be scrapped because they hurt diversity in admissions. The LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, estimates a prospective students reasoning and reading comprehension, and it serves as a predictor on how they will fair in classes. The ABA's ruling will take effect in the fall 2025 semester, after a final determination from the association's Hose of Delegates in February.

According to the article, only 4 law schools agreed to drop the LSAT requirement. LSATs are used because they are good predictors of performance in law school. Sorry if that hurts some people's feelings.

"The LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, estimates a prospective students reasoning and reading comprehension, and it serves as a predictor on how they will FAIR in classes." One grammar mistake "a prospective students" and "fair" instead of fare. No wonder my English in-laws called that publication "The Daily Fail". For at least thirty years as I recall, the ABA has pushed a progressive political agenda. The ABA is bound and determined to gut the legal profession.

The LSAT is a very accurate predictor of not only how well a college student will do in law school, but how successful and happy the person will be as a lawyer. By far the most accurate of such type of test. Scrapping the test is just a way of denying reality.

The only acceptable "test" involves one's stated ideology. Look for the MCAT to follow suit, unless they are already in the lead on CRT and general wokeness.

Why is the assumption made that low income students will do poorly on the LSAT’s simply because of their financial situation? Is the populace, whose members may at times require competent legal assistance, responsible for low family standards or underperforming and corrupt school systems which the taxpayers tolerate in certain districts? This smacks of deliberate gaming of entrance standards in order to further stock our legal system with incompetents. However, when I regard the many attorneys from the Ivy League law schools or their equivalent speak before Congressional committees or are Senators or Representatives themselves or represent clients in high profile cases such as Michael Avenatti it is obvious that changes need to be made in the quality of some lawyers and it isn’t a financial fix. Some excellent lawyers like Clarence Thomas came from extremely poor backgrounds.

This is the final collapse of American justice. The globalists are growing a judiciary based on political beliefs and thin to none on legal and constitutional knowledge. A Supreme Court full of these stooges will serve their masters and not the law. We’re halfway there already based on recent Supreme Court findings.

The attorney-client relationship is founded on trust. If law schools cannot assure that their graduates are trustworthy in their knowledge, that foundation is lost, along with their handsome tuition fees.

Less than 15 percent of all lawyers belong to the ABA. 40 years ago, it was over 50%. They went uber-liberal, and lost a lot of us. $450 a year in dues and all I'd get is a lousy liberal magazine and put on every dem's donor begging list. No upside, whole lot of downside to the ABA. But everyone thinks they speak for all lawyers, like people believe the AMA speaks for doctors - even though less than 15% of all doctors belong to the AMA, and a large percentage of those are right out of med school when dues are really low, and the new docs still think having an AMA membership certificate on your office wall impresses anybody. The AMA is in the pocket of big pharma and insurance, and that's who they side with against the interest of physicians.

In other words...they are dropping it so that people who will never graduate, let alone pass the Bar Exam can go into dept to the tune of $100's thousands in Federal Student loans....that they will never be able to repay. So that a "Look how DIVERSE we are!" Headline can be bragged about. Phase 2 is... waive the Bar Exam for these same diversity students, most of whom would then ONLY be hired by public defender outfits, giving them govt paychecks where their "Service" would allow their Govt loans to be 'forgiven'.

Actually, I disagree with most of the posts here. As a lawyer who took the LSAT's, I firmly believe most of these stupid tests are nothing but money makers for the testing and testing prep site. What will always determine your success is how hard you are willing to work to achieve your goals. My SAT's weren't high enough to get into the prestigious colleges but I graduated magna cum laude because I worked hard. Same with law school. Some of the brightest people in our law school class failed the bar. It measures nothing, IMHO. Right now, the "best" schools are jokes and employers are figuring it out! As for Med School. Yes, testing is definitely needed!

Radical Inclusivity is the adversary of excellence. Not because diverse groups cannot be excellent, but because priorities affect outcomes, and giving diversity a higher priority than weights the outcome more towards diversity than quality.

Without MERIT Americans cannot trust ANY professional. Want a heart surgeon or a pilot who got to his or her position by skipping qualifications and by affirmative action? Diversity will not help you IF YOU ARE DEAD. Just put all of these MERIT-less candidates into the BLUE STATES and watch what happens. Oh, your feelings are hurt if you botch the surgery and someone bravely points out that you were not qualified? TOO BAD. Make the grade or DO SOMETHING ELSE.

Since the United States has the highest amount of attorneys per capital of any country in the world we could do with less of them. There are approximately 1,300,000 attorneys in the U.S. We should just shut the law schools down for a while to cull the herd.

It has taken since late October for authorities in Mexico to exhume the remains, according to Fox News. Irapuato is in Guanajuato, which has the horrific distinction of having the highest murder rate in any of Mexico’s 32 states.

President Joe Biden reportedly plans to extend the pause on federal student loan payments through the summer of 2023 as his student debt cancellation plan faces legal challenges. The Department of Education will soon announce the extension of the freeze, according to a report from CNN. The first payments will be due two months after June 30, unless the Supreme Court greenlights the administration’s debt forgiveness program beforehand. A similar report from Bloomberg quoted multiple unnamed sources. Former President Donald Trump introduced the pause on federal student loan repayment in March 2020 as a relief measure during the lockdown-induced recession.

Each of which President Joe Biden either seems clueless to resolve or determined to make worse. Let’s start with the biggest one: the shortage of diesel fuel. While Biden was busy draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to tamp down gas prices before the midterm elections, the real worry was that supplies of diesel fuel have been running short.

(Snip) “Can the American economy deal with it if it happens?” Vittert followed up. “It would not be good,” Buttigieg answered. “Catastrophic?” Vittert asked. “We don’t have enough trucks or barges or ships in this country to make up for the rail network,” said

The previously unimaginable has happened: The storybook island of Martha’s Vineyard, the seasonal home of billionaires and hundreds of elite cultural and political movers and shakers, not to mention one of three year-round homes of the Obamas, has finally experienced that rarity previously limited to the mainland: violent gun crime. And surprise: The alleged perpetrators are not MAGA white nationalists. Rather, evidence so far points to migrants, possibly of the illegal kind. This is a bitter pill for most Vineyard residents to swallow. The island’s six towns have all declared themselves to be sanctuary communities.

(Snip) "I grew up in that world," he said, explaining that he was a "war baby" from World War II, noting that fascism was "very real to us, fascism-what can happen if you let one person take over a country, so that still rings very strongly with me in my soul." He also slammed conservatives in his own country, "I hate them intensely, I’ve always hated conservatives, I’m afraid to say I’m very prejudiced against them, they’re horrible people."

That’s according to a recent survey from restaurant technology company Popmenu, first reported by MarketWatch.

Next month, Tesla plans to deliver the first of its electric Semi trucks — able to haul a full 40 ton-load some 500 miles on a single charge. These massive batteries-on-wheels may accelerate the transition to electrified transport, but those responsible for delivering the power are starting to ask: Are we ready for this? Probably not, according to a sweeping new study (snip) conducted by utility company National Grid. (snip) As more electric trucks hit the road, the projected power needs for a big truck stop by 2035 will equal that of a small town. Even the authors who planned the study were caught off guard

The Biden administration will allow employers to invest pension money in green industries that could provide lower returns for Americans. The move which was announced on Tuesday reverses a rule imposed by Trump in 2020 that forced employers to prioritize profit when making 401(k) investments.  The new rule introduced by US Department of Labor will allow retirement plan investors to focus on ESG investing - which considers the environmental and social impacts of investments. The change comes as the average 401(k) in the US is down around 25 percent

Is there any point in voting if we can’t trust the system -- or whether the liberty-denier Democrats will abide by the rule of law or basic decency? (snip) That terrible sick-in-your-stomach sensation when scam artists laugh and you realize they’ve done it again? When all of our hopes for the conservation of liberty have been destroyed by the same type of schemes that we all should have seen coming a mile away? How does a party trying to destroy our constitutional republic for two years with poll after poll screaming that we are on the wrong track avoid a humiliating defeat at the ballot box?

The United States' top infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci is set to make his final appearance at the White House today before retiring, after years of pushing lockdown, masking, and vaccination orders on millions of Americans.   Fauci, 81, will join Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for his final health briefing, where he is poised to discuss his National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases' progress on vaccinations - and new actions to increase those numbers. The appearance will likely be the top doc's final time at the podium, before his planned retirement at the end of the year.
