FTC Labels ABA a Monopoly (Ep. 537)

from Thinking LSAT Hosted by Nathan Fox and Ben Olson

The FTC submitted a letter to the Texas Supreme Court supporting its decision to drop the ABA as the state’s official accreditor. Ben and Nathan agree that the ABA has been slow to modernize and often lags behind student needs, but they don’t fully align with the FTC’s reasoning. Also in this episode: - A listener asks whether to choose a part-time or full-time law program. - Whether to cancel an official score that comes in lower than a prior LSAT. - A personal statement with an unusually bold opening.
