We all remember it well.  Taking the LSAT was a necessary evil for admission to law school.  To date, it still is.  Are logic games and such really a good indicator of whether one will succeed in law school?  Is someone who gets a 172 certain to be a better lawyer than someone who gets a 160?  Some professors are starting to ask similar questions.  While I believe the LSAT can be improved, I question whether a test can ever be a strong predictor of success.  Admission departments should broaden their criteria for admission to evaluate the person applying, not just the person's performance on a certain test on a certain day.  See this New York Times article and tell us what you think.
