ABA votes to end law schools' LSAT requirement, but not until 2025
The arm of the American Bar Association that accredits U.S. law schools on Friday voted to eliminate the longstanding requirement that schools use the Law School Admission Test or other standardized test when admitting students.
Yeah, about that.
2022 - LSAT requirement lifted
2025 - LSAT no longer used
2030? - Minorities are failing out of law school at a disproportionate rate! What should we do about this structural racism?
2035? - graduation requirements for law school lowered.
Lmao you're overestimating the fucks. They've already lowered graduation requirements. Next is removing bar passage requirements
While we can debate the plusses and minuses of government mandated professional licenses, I've always thought that ceding the authority to determine what the credentialing standards are to third party non-govermental associations like the ABA or AMA is stupid and probably illegal under an honest reading of the law.
While the government has a legitimate interest in ensuring that people who hold themselves out to be doctors and lawyers actually meet a minimum standard of competency, by farming the management of that standard out to third party private organizations the government deprives these professionals the due process and fairness standards that we enforce upon the government itself.
I do not think the aba should exist but if does and is regulating the profession then being allowed to do stupid shit like this shouldn't fly
As I said before, communism does not require competence but ideological adherence. I can guarantee that, as latinos move further to the right, they will drop to white level of being discriminated against. Race is of no consequence, ideology is.
Asians are already not far off.
So you are helping people by having no standards?
Probably because the bar is a pass/fail exam and the LSAT has a range of grades. There's probably a school out there that will take you with shitty LSAT scores (even a good one) if you check enough "diversity" boxes that they want to see in their student body.
Lsat is only moderately difficult. It's the first weedout test then the second weedout is the first semester.
Law schools only have so many spaces for students and the schools you want to go to are selective. This will turn law schools into diploma mills like undergrad and ruin the work sector.
