Law schools may stop requiring LSAT for 10% of students

I just did a writeup on my blog about this. However, the bottom line is that it's looking pretty likely that the ABA will change its rules and allow law schools to accept up to 10% of their entering classes without having taken the LSAT at all.

This is just the beginning folks.
The ABA has taken a call right out of Obama's-open-border playbook. I speak absolved of hyperbole. The truth of the matter is that corporate America is decaying and will continue to so do. The legal market is flooded with non-JD folks and is facing electronic automation. Law school admissions standards are continuing to decline and will continue to so do. Corroborate this with the increasing difficulty/ambiguity in the recent LSAT tests, and your eyes ought to begin to open. The underlying theme of all of these developments is that a fundamental shift in the proletariat's economic future is emerging. Be weary of your life choices and do not let the corporate fascists own you with their debt schemes. Be fruitful, conservative, and weary of your life choices.
Godspeed.

If you're a troll, 3/10.
If you're serious, please seek help from a psychiatric professional. And an English tutor.

I think you just worded it like a conspiracy theorist, although I agree with 90%. The automation of the profession & saturated job market doesn't bode well for the future. I should've studied CS.

As Atmosphere suggested, you sound like a paranoid conspiracy theorist.
As for the "English tutor" suggestion, your grasp of English is poor. Your verbs and subjects don't always agree. And you misuse several words (e.g., absolved, corroborate). I thought you were perhaps parodying those who express anti-immigrant sentiment ("Obama's-open-border playbook"). It's always amusing when anti-immigrant types are only marginally literate in English.

First of all, my English is infinitely better than your English. Second of all, everything I just said is true. You can't dispute my statements. Third of all, who the hell are you? My third grade English teacher? You most likely do not even have subject/verb agreements in your words because they're composed of straight fucking garbage.

I'm sorry I offended you. I was just explaining why I thought you were a troll. If you are actually serious, I wish you the best of luck in railing against President Obama, LSAC, the proletariat, and the corporate fascists.

I feel like yesterday's test upped the tension on TLS by a significant amount.

TBF a large percentage of CS jobs have been and will continue to be outsourced; it's not remotely a stable field in the 90s sense. But at least CS doesn't require a $300,000 piece of paper to practice.

Fishman was a troll, but he is no more, so please ignore his ridiculousness and carry on.

I get that. Just trying to use it as an example of a degree actually worth something. I was just foolish for basing my UG major around law school, I wish I had just done something more marketable. I'm really second-guessing this career path at the moment.
