We are conitinuing to see decreases in the number of LSAT takers, law school applicants, and enrollees. We're also seeing the LSATs of enrollees drop. (There are some recent numbers at The Faculty Lounge, along with some informed commentary about the state of the LSATs scores. Once again, we are seeing that the total number of possible 1L seats is close to the number of applicants. Not too long ago, there were two applicants for each seat.)
It's my understanding that LSAT scores correlate well with MBE scores. So as the classes with lower LSATs start taking the bar exam, what will give way: traditional passing scores or traditional passage rates? Does anyone have informed commentary on what will happen? Have any of the state bars spoken about that?
