I agree Chuck. The LSAT is not a very good indicator of actual student performance.

Chuck, you can add the bar exam to offensive and meaningless barriers as well. Standardized tests only test how well you take standardized tests. My alma mater, Pierce Law in NH, recently started a program called the Daniel Webster Scholars. It's a 2 year practical skills and clinics course designed to teach law students how to be actual lawyers. If the student passes the course, then it is the same as passing the regular NH bar exam...with the added bonus of actually knowing something about practicing law. I wish they had it when I was a young law student.
