Well @DavidLat, this data doesn't show that—although it does suggest that people who COULD get high LSATs are avoiding law school.

It matters, because while I applaud
@DavidLat and others for discouraging those for whom law school would be a bad investment, I worry . . . -
. . . I worry,
@DavidLat, that in the process we are discouraging those who would thrive in law school and have great careers in the law. -
@shermanjclark@DavidLat we need a market price reset, not a consumer boycott -
@katmeresin
@shermanjclark And it's not a "boycott," just individuals running the numbers & deciding#lawschool isn't for them. -
@DavidLat@shermanjclark idk. There is a lot of social pressure by young lawyers to keep their friends out. Scare tactics do work. -
@katmeresin
@shermanjclark If someone can't think for him/herself, law is not a good profession to go into! -
@DavidLat@shermanjclark At present but I disagree with the premise. Law needs diversity, including those traditionally locked out of power. - 3 more replies

@MonicaCarmean@shermanjclark@kashhill And@sewellchan too I think. Why take#lsat? Bc you were thinking about#lawschool, not sure. -
@DavidLat@MonicaCarmean@shermanjclark Took LSAT while thinking about law school. Then worked at a law firm and decided against it. - 1 more reply

@DavidLat the ensuing choice from law schools, < class size or take the LSAT median hit will be interesting. Fiscal prudence v. Rankings.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
