When the University of Arizona started accepting a generic graduate school exam for law school applicants last year, the national group that oversees such admissions chastised the university and threatened to oust it from its membership.
But now that Harvard, the gold standard, is following suit, there is growing hope that dropping the traditional Law School Admissions Test as a requirement for applicants across the country could lead to a larger and more diverse group of lawyers entering the field.

AAAhhh,diversity !

This is just me, but with all of the air time given Harvard Law graduates, one has to wonder what kind of law program Harvard has. Common sense is hard to find in these people. And, many of them wouldn’t know truth if it were an axe handle hitting them in the brain box.
Hey, why bother with college at all. If a person wants to be a lawyer. Just go be one. Why not?
It’s not like there’s a lawyer shortage.
Why lower the standards?
Just what we need...MORE LAWYERS, not better...MORE!
Because Obama’s sons and daughters can’t pass the LSAT! Next the medical schools will drop the MCAT.
The country would be in better shape if all Harvard Law grads, all current Harvard Law students and all current and former/retired professors were exiled to one of the Aleutian islands.
Oh god, just what we need—more lawyers.
Why not just skip the law school part?
more diverse group = dumb as ####
When you hire a lawyer, do you want one was accepted into law school because he was the best or because he/she filled in a check box for some diversity requirement?
But now that Harvard, the gold standard, is following suit, there is growing hope that dropping the traditional Law School Admissions Test as a requirement for applicants across the country could lead to a larger and more diverse group of lawyers entering the field.
Just what this nation needs, more attorneys, and even more diversity.
We really need to bring back capital punishment.
I scored in the 99.8 percentile on the GRE, but I didn’t do nearly as well on the GMAT (83%?). The GRE (30 years ago) was simply an SAT for aspiring grad students. Easy. It’s interesting that the schools are consolidating the test formats. Will it really make that much difference?
That still won’t get them to come to class
Let alone be prepared to be called on
The welcoming speech for the new students at Harvard Law School...
“You come here with a skull full of mush and after three years and $300,000, you leave here with a skull full of Fruit Loops.”

Harvard Law grad ... worst president ever.
Harvard Business School has started accepting the GRE as an admission test instead of the GMAT, so this is starting to be a trend. It will be interesting to see if Harvard Medical School will soon accept the GRE as a substitute for the MCAT.
There are so many lawyers now that a lot of them are doing the work that a Paralegal used to do.
wait...just who is asking for more lawyers ?
