Abstract
This is a law review article that examines the admissions process and the reliance on the LSAT. The authors are part of SALT and ABA and give perspective from both of those institutions. There is also a brief history of the previous justifications for use of standardized tests from efficiency to irrational exclusionary prejudices. The authors also include proposals for reform.
