Comment on the ABA's proposal to end admissions tests as a requirement for law school admission

Earlier, I blogged about the ABA’s proposal to end the admissions test (typically, the LSAT) as a requirement for law school admissions. I’ve submitted a comment on the proposal, which you can read in its entirety here. The comment recommends disclosure of four pieces of information if the ABA accepts the proposal: the number of matriculants who do not have a standardized test score; the percentage of students receiving—and the 75th, 50th, and 25th percentile amounts of—grants among students admitted without a standardized test score; total academic attrition among students who lack a standardized test score; and the first-time and ultimate bar exam passage rates for students without a standardized test score. The comment explains why each item would be a useful disclosure.
