“I can’t overstate the potential of this work to transform the way law schools conduct selected admissions and, perhaps, the way law firms think about training and evaluating young attorneys,” says Edley.

In addition, while research indicates that standardized tests that focus on academic skills put minority candidates at a substantial disadvantage, Shultz says “there is not a race or ethnicity difference in performance on our tests. That’s why I say fairness demands that you have a system that’s a bit broader than the one currently used to pick applicants,” she adds.

“Proposition 209 and the reduced numbers of minority admits prompted me to think hard about what constitutes merit for purposes of law school admission, and to decide LSAT was much too narrow, as well as having big adverse impact,” Professor Shultz said.

“The LSAT was designed to predict who would be good as a student in law school and it actually does quite a good job of that. It’s not that it’s not useful; it’s that it’s narrow because a lawyer needs many more talents than simply logic and reasoning which is the focus of the LSAT. And our test development is trying to gauge other kinds of skills like problem solving and practical judgment and stress management and all the range of things that practicing lawyers need to have.”

“Some of tests were predictive in ways that we think would be valuable if confirmed on a national level,” said Shultz…. “You wouldn’t expect to substitute or remove the LSAT but we would hope—pending on national research—the testing process to include a wider range of tests used in a variety of ways.”
