Today, December 3, is the United Nations’ International Day of Persons With Disabilities. The U.N. has marked this occasion since 1992, and the goal of the observance is to “promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities.” That goal is at the core of our mission at LSAC, where we’ve worked hard to help people with disabilities enter the legal profession and add their diverse voices to our justice system.
The Ďă˛Ý´«Ă˝ will be releasing scores from the September LSAT — including scores from make-up tests — on Monday, October 14, as planned. We’ve been able to extend the registration deadline...
As the creators of the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), Ďă˛Ý´«Ă˝ measurement scientists and test developers are responsible for continually researching the performance of the test to ensure that the LSAT is the most effective, fair, and valid assessment of candidates’ potential for success in law school.
The Digital LSAT launch was July 15, and we’ve been busy gathering and analyzing feedback for the past month. We have surveyed everyone who took the July exam and are using that feedback to understand what worked well AND what needs improvement.
Today, July 26, is the 29th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act being signed into law.
The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) has evolved over the years, but it has remained the gold standard in legal education since it was introduced over 70 years ago. Accepted by every law school in the country, over 100,000 people take it every year, and 99.6% of the people who entered law school last year used the LSAT in their applications.
It’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day, an annual event that focuses on digital access and inclusion for persons with disabilities. The purpose of this day is to get people talking, thinking, and learning about digital access and inclusion, especially as it relates to people with disabilities. The reality is...
Today I am thrilled to introduce Flor Gonzalez, a 3L student at Chapman University’s Dale E. Fowler School of Law in California. Like Kendeil Dorvilier and Mamadou Jawo, Flor is already committed to doing work in the legal field that will advance equity, access, and diversity across our society.
This week I’m pleased to introduce Mamadou Jawo, whose journey to law school at the University of Wisconsin began in his childhood, in West Africa. There, one day after school, he went to see his father at the police station where his father worked, and what he saw there became a cornerstone in his dream of becoming a lawyer.
One of the biggest challenges I face in leading the Ďă˛Ý´«Ă˝ is also one of the most rewarding parts of my job: advancing access and equity through law and legal education. While the challenge comes from the structural inequities in society that only grow deeper without keen vigilance and productive action, the reward comes from working with our member schools and others who join in LSAC’s mission to “bend the arc” toward justice.
