The Lowdown on LRAP: Magical Law School Debt Reliever?
Loan repayment assistance programs (LRAPs) are magic wands that make debt disappear for students who are good-hearted enough to enter public service. Sure, you’re earning a quarter of what your classmates are making, but you’re making the world a better place, and karma repays you for that. With your loan repayment, you get a unicorn to ride to work and a lifetime’s supply of free candy canes. Oh, and you officially get to celebrate your half-birthday, which means more presents!
There are many students who enter law school every year with dreams of entering public service after they graduate. The salaries aren’t nearly as high as those in the private sector; your loans, however, will be. So how do most students expect to cover the gap?

The ABA Zeroes in on Law School Employment Data
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but law schools have been shamelessly inflating their employment statistics for years. Shocking, I know.
After cracking down on the way schools report their LSAT scores (a scandal or two helped push in that direction, *cough* Villanova and Illinois *cough*), the ABA has now turned its attention to law school employment data. In fact, the ABA is currently soliciting proposals, so feel free to throw your hat in the ring.
This is going to be a much more difficult program than the one designed to ensure correct LSAT info. For admissions data, the LSAC acts as a central repository for all law school application data. Anyone who has an LSAT score took the test through LSAC.

No Surprise: The ABA Votes to Keep the LSAT
Every few years, rumors start spreading about the ABA removing the LSAT from their requirements for all approved law schools. It starts as a whisper in a back alley, but it soon grows to a groundswell throughout the pre-law community.
The most recent rumor started when the ABA decided to revise its seven chapters of standards for law schools. That includes the chapter on the Standards and Rules of Procedure for Approval of Law Schools, which includes the requirement that all applicants take an admissions test.
And now that the final vote has finally come down, we see the rumors quashed, yet again.
The committee voted overwhelmingly to keep the LSAT requirement for approved law schools.

Top Law School Stories of 2012 (With a Look Ahead to 2013)
It has been a tumultuous year in the wide world of law school news: suits filed, requirements imposed, tuitions raised, and accreditation denied. To put it simply, that’s a lot of stuff. Here are some of the top law school stories of 2012:
Top Law School Story of 2012 I: No Overseas Accreditation
The ABA denied accreditation to schools outside of the United States. You could say “boo-hoo” for those foreign lawyers seeking to practice in the U.S. or you could thank the ABA for protecting your legal education and shrinking the legal labor pool in this country. Think about it. Would you rather compete with a bunch of people paying the same as you for the same education or a bunch of people paying way less for the same education and status (and thus willing to accept lower initial pay).
