According to this article from Law.com, the University of Illinois College of Law became the second law school to announce admission plans that do not require an LSAT score.  The first was the University of Michigan Law School. Is this going to become a trend among the nation’s law schools?

Personally, I have never put much stock in the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test) as a true predictor of law school performance.  However, the idea that the LSAT is the end-all and be-all of law student performance predictors seems to be pretty well ensconced in this country.  I doubt it is going anywhere soon.  The fact is that only a select few of the very brightest (highest GPA, if that determines intelligence) applicants will get in without an LSAT score.  But, at least it is a start.  To read more on this topic you could have a look at this article.  God bless and have a great day.
