The Ronald H. Brown Center will hold a one-day regional
conference entitled: "The LSAT, U.S. News & World
Reports, and Minority Admissions.” The goal of the conference
is to establish a dialogue concerning how law schools
inappropriately use the LSAT as the sole criterion in admissions
decisions in order to boost their U.S. News & World
Report rankings. This misuse is in contravention of the
express guidance of the Law School Admission Council.
Moreover, this over-reliance has a deleterious effect on the
admission of students of color to law school. The conference
discussions will revolve around strategies to increase minority
admissions in this ranking-frenzied atmosphere.
