Top Law Schools

I'm planning to work a few years before law school - currently applying for paralegal/legal assistant/entry-level office positions. Should I include my LSAT score (171) with the rest of my skills/miscellaneous? Will employers consider this cocky or helpful?

I wouldn't do it unless it was in a field where employers like seeing high standardized test scores (I think finance/business comes to mind, but I could be wrong on that one). So generally I would not.

ETA: To elaborate more, I don't think they would care either way in most situations. If you do do it, put the percentile you placed in rather than a score, or at least in addition to it, considering the number would be meaningless to most people since they don't know about the LSAT.

I see resumes all the time, often they include MCAT scores. I can't speak for the legal profession, but no one bats an eye at an MCAT score because it's apropos, as I would think an LSAT score would be?

That makes sense, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
