ABA Could Waive LSAT Requirement for 10 Percent of Students
By Jim Vassallo
According to the American Bar Association, the LSAT could be waived for 10 percent of law school admits beginning in the month of August, as reported by the Central Florida Future.
The proposal comes from the governing council of the ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar. It was meeting to perform a comprehensive review of law school qualification standards.
Should the proposal pass, students have the possibility of being accepted to an ABA-approved law school without ever taking the LSAT.
Even if this does pass, students at UCF might not see any changes.
“Based on the various news and media outlet [coverage] on the new ABA proposal, UCF students wouldn’t be eligible for this because it requires you to apply to your undergraduate institution that has a law school, and/or seek a J.D. degree in combination with a degree in a different discipline,” said Rupert Neish in an interview with the Central Florida Future. Neish is a legal studies academic services coordinator at the school.
Neish noted that students will need to score in the 85th percentile of the GMAT, GRE or other standardized test in order to qualify for graduate school. They must also rank in the 10th percentile for their undergraduate class or hold a GPA of 3.5 or higher through six semesters of work.
According to the proposal, law schools approved by the ABA can require other admission tests as alternatives to the LSAT, if necessary.
“Most law schools use the LSAT because it is already validated and accepted for law school admission,” Roger Handberg said. Handberg is a political science professor and pre-law adviser at UCF. Handberg is speaking about the interpretation by the American Bar Association regarding tests that are required for admission to approved schools.
Interpretation 503-1 from the ABA state the following: “A law school that uses an admission test other than the Law School Admission Test sponsored by the Law School Admission Council shall establish that such other test is a valid and reliable test to assist the school in assessing an applicant’s capability to satisfactorily complete the school’s educational program.”
To go with this, the ABA is also thinking about allowing students to be paid for any externships they receive credit for while in school.
The House of Delegates for the ABA will review the proposals made by the council during the annual meeting in Boston this August.
