5. A few law schools are shitcanning the LSAT.

There are "working class" law schools, affordable ones, that eschew the paradigms, provide classes to people who work full time, who don't view the LSAT as an indicator of success and they just don't use it. One of these is in my state. They kicked Harvard Law's ass a few years back in one of those Jeopardy-like contests; it made the news.

The ABA is starting to move away from the mandated LSAT, perhaps they want to bring some of these non-LSAT schools into their fold: http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/aba_committee_to_offer_two_approaches_to_lsat_requirement/
