HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE, LEGAL EDUCATION EDITION: 1L Attrition Increases As Median LSATs Decline. Yep. The conflict is that when you admit students with low LSAT scores, they are less likely to complete law school, less likely to pass the bar, and less likely to be employed afterward. But — and here’s the conflict — their tuition money is just as valuable to law schools as that of students who are likely to succeed. So law schools have an incentive to admit students who will do poorly, just as cash cows.

When law school was cheap, you could justify this as giving everyone a shot. Now that it involves six figure debt, not so much. At the very least, there should be full disclosure.
