LSAT Ninja

Scores have arrived.
Thousands of anxious LSAT students awoke this morning with a frightening email in their Inbox. Subject: Your December 2009 LSAT Score. After a brief panic attack and some inspirational videos, many students have not yet summoned the courage to actually open said email.
But once you have, you can join the [...]

Happy Hanukkah. Merry Christmas. Good Kwanzaa. Despite the various salutations that are necessary to remain culturally sensitive these days, I refuse to be one of the non-committal pansies that resort to Happy Holidays.
In the land of LSAT students and law school applicants, the holidays can be a very busy [...]

It’s law school application season. Applicants are choosing their favorite schools and attempting to put their best foot forward. Schools are trying to entice the best candidates and wooing them with cash and prizes. The whole process is reminiscent of a courtship ritual, higher-education style.

I was just about to write about something that would be very helpful to all those LSAT students preparing for the big test, but someone at the BP office just dumped the new U.S. News & World Report law school ranking on my desk. And, thus, I have fallen prey to the same mistake that [...]

In my last blog, I wrote about how students can look at the statistics released by LSAC to learn whether or not it’s realistic to expect that they can increase their score by taking the LSAT again. The bottom line, discussed in the post, is that across the range of LSAT scores, the average [...]
