Most Strongly Supported LSAT Blogs

Just when you wondered why in the world someone would pay $400 for a pretty phone that breaks easily and gets terrible reception…

The dating website OkCupid recently released the results of a shocking new study. It turns out that people who own iPhones have had more sexual partners than people who own other smart phones.

As expected, this groundbreaking scientific breakthrough has convinced many to conclude that an inferior cell phone is the root of their sexual misfortunes. Yahoo summed it up best, when they claimed, “I guess this accessory really helps your game.”

The last video game I played with any kind of verve, regularity, or excellence was Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo when I was ten (and at that, I was a golden god), so I might not be the best guy to opine on this subject, but here goes.

Recently, in West Virginia, a judge by the name of Joseph R. Carico was discovered to be in an illicit video-gaming relationship with a West Virginian felon named Jeremy Hubbard, who had appeared in his court. They were found out because one night, Carico plowed into a tree while driving Hubbard home from a late-night Halo session. Carico has now vanished from his seat on the circuit court, which can only point to a suspension of some kind, or a deep, all-encompassing personal shame.

If you are reading this blog, then there’s a pretty good chance that you hope to get a great score on the October LSAT. Summer classes are right around the corner, and you are cautiously optimistic because you have heard that the LSAT is hard. Like really hard. The truth is that the LSAT tests a very learnable set of skills, and will not seem as intimidating once you dive into the proper study methods and you learn to think the right way about the exam. The LSAT will test your ability to pick apart logical structure, make deductions, and at times will require you to organize large chunks of information. Make no mistake, this is going to take quite a bit of concentration and focus, which brings me to the point of this post.

The National Federation of the Blind has filed complaints with the United States Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, in which it requests investigations of nine law schools (among them the University of Chicago and Washington and Lee University) for violating the civil rights of the blind.

The gist of their complaint centers around the use of LSAC.com as the primary tool with which to apply to law school. Because LSAC is not blind-accessible, they argue, blind people are being impeded from pursuing their goals of getting into law school.

First reaction: it’s always a fun dip into irony when law schools get basically sued.

Second reaction: I can only imagine legal work is very difficult for blind people, but that certain shouldn’t impede them from going into the field.

Third reaction: This is proof, if you needed any other, that the era of the paper law school application is dead.

Our long national nightmare may soon be over.

The National Law Journal reported on Monday that SALT (not just a garden-variety spice, or a Strategic Arms Limitations Treaty, or an anagram of LSAT, but the Society of American Law Teachers) has recommended that law schools stop submitting LSAT information of incoming students to US News and World Report magazine (in a sense, “starving” the US News of information).

Time for some shameless self-promotion!

For all you New Yorkers thinking about taking the LSAT, Blueprint will be having a free LSAT seminar on Wednesday, hosted by myself. We’ll be discussing everything having to do with the LSAT, including scoring, strategies, timelines, and the test’s importance in the law school admissions process (spoiler: it’s important). This is also your chance to meet a real live Blueprint LSAT instructor in all of his chiseled-good-looks glory. I’ve been teaching this godforsaken test for quite some time now, so I can answer any questions you might have. As an added bonus, everyone who shows up will be eligible for some sweet, sweet LSAT course discounts.

We’re just over two and a half weeks from the June LSAT. This signifies a number of things, but most important is that you are probably in a blind panic and have not seen the sunlight in well over three days.

When last you visited the wide world of outside, Tiger Woods was still making headlines for bedding over 100 women out of wedlock. The NBA Playoffs were going on. You still had vestiges of sanity.

A lot has happened since then. Tiger’s been pushed aside to an extent, in favor of Lindsay Lohan going to jail. The NBA Playoffs are still going on. You are currently chewing on your hair and mumbling about contrapositives.

But don’t worry, kids, because Daddy’s here to update you on what’s been going on in the world.

*NBA player Delonte West was allegedly having sex with LeBron James’ mom, Gloria, and that may have played a role in Bron-Bron’s playing like a little girl during most of the Cavaliers’ series with the Celtics. And after a quick poll of the office staff, we’ve decided that the rumor is bogus because there’s no way LeBron wouldn’t have ordered West’s death if there was any credence to the rumors.

So tomorrow is a big day for a lot of reasons.

First, I’m going bowling, and will make every attempt to break my high score of 117.

Second, it’s Friday, which means I’ll be just a day away from not having to wear pants for two whole days.

But perhaps most important, tomorrow also marks a number of deadlines for June LSAT takers.

If you want to register late for the LSAT, want to cancel your LSAT with a partial refund, or want to change the date or test center for when/where you’ll take the LSAT, tomorrow is the last day to do so (more or less).

Odds are, if you’re reading this, you’re either in law school or are in the process of going to law school. I’m sure, given the prospect of tremendous debt and the overall idea of entering a profession where most people are geared to hate you, that you are feeling a little bit of trepidation about your choice.

But the more I think about it, the more I’m starting to figure that you should not be worried at all. After all, if news reports indicate anything, it’s that everyone, including your favorite pitcher, some silly reality TV star, and likely your grandmother are all going to law school. Since all of the cool kids are doing it, there’s really going to be no one left to hate you, and everyone will have equal levels of enormous debt.

Does an average black American have a greater chance of being a sickle cell anemia carrier than an average white American?

If I were to pose to you the above question, what would you think? Would you consider it a racist question, or merely a question of scientific import? I’d argue that you’ve got some strong scientific evidence suggesting yes, black Americans do have a greater chance of being sickle cell carriers (but as I was a history major, and am basing that off of a decently thorough Google search and what I remember from high school Biology, I’ll accept someone completely disagreeing with this and calling me a ninny).
