Let's discuss, what do you think of the LSAT becoming optional or the ABA abolishing it all together? Looks like it'll be gone by 2025.

Honestly nothing I did to prepare for the LSAT mattered at all once I got to law school anyway so in that sense I don’t think it is too bad if it goes away but that being said there wasn’t really much I did in undergrad that helped either so I don’t think using undergrad grades solely would be too good either. I suppose I’d rather see the LSAT adapted to be more in line with what actual law school testing and content is like rather than the random subject matter it currently does.

And agreed it should be a multiple choice subject matter test. Like the mbe section of the bar exam.

Well I have mixed emotions. It’s a horrible test but at the same time I did horrible at it and it really kept me from going to a top law school and likely significantly influenced the trajectory of my career and potential earnings. I always had an issue with taking too long to complete the questions, and still remember that I only finished 2 out of 4 logic games sections. A part of me is just bitter that someone like me out of undergrad would now have that opportunity to do what I wanted when I had that drive.

Has no impact on me, since I already went to law school. Things change, that’s life.

I think it's a little bit of a shame, only because I think some students have a chance at schools they wouldn't have gotten into otherwise based on their LSAT scores. I wouldn't mind if it was optional, so that if someone already had the grades to get into school and they didn't want to take it they didn't have to.

Are they actually getting rid of it?

The studies from like 15 years ago when I took it strongly suggested it was the strongest indicator of law school performance around.

Don’t really care since it’s just school admissions procedure. It’s the bar that could use some changing imo. Like all states adopt UBE and narrow the exam to test performance of what real practice is like, such as the MPRE portion of the exam.

3 Things to keep in mind which changing jobs:
1. Always ask dedicated budget for the job before you tell your expectations.

2. Always have atleast 2 weeks of gap before you join any company. You might not understand significance of that but just have a gap.

3. Always talk to people of team you will be joining before you accept offer or atleast before you join company.

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
