Dean Z is on the board of trustees of LSAC. Think for yourself. Her motivations are obvious.

What are your thoughts on the current lsat vs. the August lsat with no logic games?

As a nurse, let's remember some of the "missingness" time you reference during 2020..... we all know why there may not have been data collection right?

Dean Z is on the board of Trustees of LSAC, a clear conflict of interests, and she NEVER discloses it in the video.! Her incentives and motivations are obvious. She'd rather steer Black and Latino applicants toward the LSAT where they average a 142 . The JD Next is a valid and reliable admissions test. Do your own research. Shame on you, Dean Z! You know better! It's disgusting.

Thank you Dean Z🫶🏽

You are the best! Thank you for this! The LSAT was fun I got a 120 the first time I did it. How could that be exactly what I started with lol.

She's not the best. She's on the board of trustees of LSAC. Don't be a fool. She's relying on that.

She's on the board of trustees of LSAC. Don't be a sheep. It's disgusting that she doesn't disclose this knowing Black and Latinos average a 142 on the LSAT. Her incentives are obvious.

I am currently taking the JD-Next cohort. I agree in part and disagree in part with Dean Z.

While I think its fair to be skeptical about the JD Next, to say you don't think it can predict success in law school is asinine. The LSAT doesn't predict first year success or grades. I know personally 3 people who scores were 170, 169, 165 on the LSAT and only 1 of them graduated law school, while one completely failed and the other stopped attending. One thing the LSAT doesn't measure is someones willingness to do well in law school. I've personally taken the LSAT twice and scored in the 140's and then taken the GRE and got a score that was an equivalent to a 143 LSAT score. Does this mean I will suck at law school? No, it simply means that I for one reason or another don't test well on standardized test. Law schools say they look at more than your score but the fact of the matter is, that is all that matters. No law school in the country will turn away a person with a 170 LSAT score, because all an admissions officer sees is good data reporting numbers and not the actual individual. So with me taking the LSAT and GRE and pretty much scoring in the 140's on all of them, does that mean I should quit trying to get into law school? The fact of the matter is, law schools look past people like me everyday because of a test score. This is why I'm taking this JD Next course and doing extremely well. I'm just hoping that I can get one yes from a school so I can show every school who says no the kind of applicants you are frequently turning away because of a score. **exits soap box**

The statistical predictiveness of an estimator (LSAT) is based on the variance of the mean response, as well as variances and covariances of the samples. Since we’re talking about averages, we have to consider entire populations. In reality, it’s impossible to totally predict an individual’s grades next year, since there will always be some random variation.

It seems like one of the ways JD -Next purports to achieve “racial and class equity” is by including the mandatory course as part of the examination. By standardizing the test preparation process, it makes sense to expect a narrower achievement gap in historically low performing groups. However, if JD-Next were to ever become the predominant law school admissions test, I’d expect candidates to do everything they can to maximize their score. This may include: enrolling in a supplemental class, hiring a private tutor, taking a summer off work to study full time, etc. all of these options equate to some form of using money to improve your test score, so over time we’d see the same achievement gaps. The only way to ever get rid of this difference entirely would be to somehow make a test that you can’t study for, but at that point are we even testing first year success? At the end of the day, someone who spent a whole year studying with a private tutor in preparation for law school actually is a better law student than someone who didn’t, and they should be placed into school accordingly.

Performance gaps between groups are just as large on unbiased tests given without preparation, like IQ tests used in intelligence research, so creating a test that could not be studied for would not close the gaps, unfortunately.

Since I believe that the SFFA Supreme Court case made it illegal for admissions offices to make race a factor in admission, then I think that searching for a test that is more equitable for racial minorities is futile. Now, while I do not love the current average of 175/180 for Michigan Law, I do think that an applicant must be able to perform well on a test based on a known quotient--legal writing based on caselaw. Back when I was a student, the final exam was essentially 100% of a student's grade and there were no office hours. Thanks for the conversation starter.
