The LSAT Down Under: Jay’s Trek through the Southern Hemisphere

LSAT Advice: Do not get a Forehead Tattoo
The pictures say it all and, ladies, I think you know what I’m talking about. It shouldn’t matter that the woman with whom Jesse James is cheating is disgusting. I know that the main issue should be the betrayal of … Read Entire Article…
Report: Baseball Players Know Diddly about the LSAT
So the brutal taskmasters here at MSS have me doing various google searches throughout the day, poring over news stories and blog posts looking for mentions of the LSAT. And let me tell you: it’s a dry, dry desert out there.
Until you find stuff like this.
This Darren O’Day character (a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers, who are once again going to get owned by the Angels this year) seems like a pretty bright guy, even when not comparing him to the majority of baseball players, who Rick Reilly has referred to as “dumber than toe lint”. That, of course, is meaningless, and further proof that Reilly is a hack, but I agree with the spirit of the statement.

It’s a Good Time to be a Law Professor
In an era where Humanities faculty are dropping like flies, law school faculty members have flourished. A study from the National Jurist indicates that the average law school increased its faculty by 40% over the past ten years. This is … Read Entire Article…

Don’t Panic, but your June LSAT Test Center is Probably Full
Not to be alarmist, because we are not in the business of inducing panic, but I would like to direct your attention to the situation currently arising with LSAT test centers in New York:
Mother****ers are filling up. Fast.
In fact, if one were to use a word to describe them, if one really wanted to hit the nail on its head, as it were, one might use the word “full”.
This obviously presents a bevy of problems for the average test-taker in Manhattan (i.e. you) but you do have a couple of options.

Win a Gold Medal, become a Lawyer: Law and the Olympics
If you ever feel bad that you’re going to law school as a simple extension of getting a relatively useless liberal arts degree, console yourself with the fact that plenty of Olympic athletes are joining or have joined you. Olympian … Read Entire Article…

Should I Cancel the February LSAT?
You have until Friday to decide. No, I am not talking about your destination for Valentine’s Day or your excuse for making this weekend a super-long weekend. Friday is the deadline to cancel your February LSAT score.
For some students, this decision brings sleepless nights and lots of overeating. A bad LSAT score is not a great thing to have on your record. Not as bad as a conviction for international espionage or anything, but not great.
The Deep End: ABC’s Vision of a First Year Associate’s Life
Last night ABC aired its new legal drama, The Deep End. I could argue that The Deep End demonstrates that screenwriting as a serious craft is dead, but if you’ve watched any three-letter network lately (other than HBO), you know that already.
Every decade or so, someone in TV land who narrowly escaped a career in law decides the world would be fascinated by watching the lives of lawyers. In a better world, we would cast stones at such people and leave their utterly implausible and trumped up shows unwatched. In our world, LA Law was a Thursday night staple for nearly a decade in the late 80’s and Ally McBeal helped establish Fox as a serious network in the late 90’s.
Celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
As many of you know (or should know), today is the day we observe Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday. Before his assassination on April 4, 1968, King had become the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize (for efforts … Read Entire Article…

Temporal Fallacies on the LSAT vs. the NFL Playoffs
The LSAT talks about a lot of different subject areas. Fractal geometry, the mating habits of sage grouse, diapir eruptions, “group think” behavior, and even unicorns have all been the topic of discussion at different times.
But they don’t talk about sports. Well, not much, at least.
And I think I might know why. There are certain issues in sports that I believe can poke holes in the reasoning used on the LSAT.
