On September 7, 2005, The Ronald H. Brown Center for Civil
Rights and Economic Development of St. John’s University School of
Law held a conference entitled: “The LSAT, U.S. News & World
Report, and Minority Admissions.” The conference brought
together academics, admissions’ personnel, and leading gatekeepers
to the legal profession. The conference participants examined the
impact of the ranking-frenzied atmosphere created by U.S. News
& World Report on Black and Latino/a enrollments.
