The Law School Admission Council: A Hundred-Million-Dollar Investment Fund That Does Law School Testing on the Side.

Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, n27 p95-98 Spr 2000

The nonprofit corporation that performs standardized testing for law school admission has in recent years produced $100 million in profits. For minority groups who tend to score poorly on the test, the question is why the corporation refuses to dedicate some of its wealth to commissioning an independent study of whether test results correlate with success in the legal profession.
