Quick,
what
does
being
really
good
at
sudoku
have
to
do
with
being
able
to
study
the
law?
Now
that
logic
games
don’t
factor
into
the
LSAT
anymore,
not
much
at
all!
That
welcome
realization
may
be
the
reason
behind
why
this
year’s
cohort
of
LSAT
takers
is
so
big.
Reuters
has
coverage:
This
year’s
law
school
admission
cycle
is
off
to
a
strong
start
with
a
26%
increase
in
the
number
of
people
applying
for
a
spot
next
fall
compared
with
this
time
last
year,
while
the
number
of
applications
sent
to
schools
is
up
37%.
…
Another
reason
for
the
sharp
increase
early
on
may
be
due
to
the
removal
of
the
so-called
logic
games
from
the
LSAT
in
August,
as
people
rushed
to
take
the
new
version
of
the
test,
said
law
school
admissions
consultant
Mike
Spivey.
Logic
games,
which
involved
mind-bending
hypotheticals,
were
considered
by
many
to
be
the
most
difficult
section
of
the
LSAT,
and
the
council
opted
to
eliminate
them
following
a
2019
settlement
with
two
blind
LSAT
takers
who
claimed
they
violated
the
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act.
The
logic
games
section
going
the
way
of
the
Dodo
isn’t
the
only
factor
in
this
year’s
strong
start:
we
need
foot
soldiers
to
fight
the
draconian
laws
preventing
routine
healthcare
and
face
an
election
where
both
parties
say
its
outcome
will
determine
the
nation’s
future.
Those
things
alone
can
drive
people
to
pick
up
horn
books.
But
removing
those
annoying
deduction
puzzles
that
rarely
have
any
bearing
on
the
preparation
or
practice
of
being
a
lawyer
is
no
small
feat.
Congratulations
to
all
of
the
aspiring
lawyers
who
completed
the
LSAT!
Another
question:
now
that
the
logic
games
are
gone,
will
a
significant
number
of
law
school
applicants
even
bother
taking
the
GRE
to
go
to
law
school?
Time
will
tell.
