The chair of an ABA committee reviewing the standards for accreditation of law schools has told the National Law Journal that a “substantial portion” of the ABA committee believes the rule that requires require law schools to ask applicants to submit the results of a "valid and reliable admission test" should be repealed. About 10 law schools have already been granted waivers to admit students who haven’t taken the LSAT. Dropping the requirement, of course, doesn't mean that all law schools will automatically make the LSAT optional. Or that applicants won't take the test if they feel that they would be disadvantaged by not submitting an LSAT score.
