Introduction to the lsat jam

Welcome to Horace Grant's LSAT Jam. This site's thesis is simple: The Law School Admissions Test can be stuffed through the proverbial hoop in a similar fashion to the way I used to stuff basketballs through a real hoop.




Yeah, like that.

Now you may be thinking, look Flyman, the LSAT is not only among the most difficult standardized tests in the world, it bears absolutely no resemblence to the admittedly funky fresh jams that led your team to 3 nba championships in a row.

Well on the surface, you're right. But just as you don't want to fake the funk on a nasty dunk, you similarly don't want to fake the funk on a nasty LSAT score that can prevent you from attending a top law school.

Now, is the LSAT stupid? Yeah, kind of.
Is it racist and classist? Yes on both counts.
Does it have predictive validity for one's success in law school? Not much.
Is it nonetheless the sole most important determinant of where you go to law school and, thus, how wide ranging your career prospects can run? No doubt.
Do schools use miniscule score differences within LSAC's own admitted margin of error to sort through candidates, against LSAC's own recommendations? You know it, baby.
Is this whole system perpetuated by USNEWS and World Report, who seem to have no grasp of the rather rudimentary concept of "margin of error" in the first place? True dat!

So there's really no other option than to believe everything surrounding the LSAT is just some silly game. And what do we do with silly games?



That's right, stunned and defenseless Kevin Johnson, we JAM!
