Handbook Advice

The policy statement of these
organizations as stated on page
18 of the Prelaw Handbook
makes the point clear enough:
Commercial publications
and cram courses purport to
help you prepare for the
LSAT. These are, of course,
unofficial, and are not
approved by the law
schools, the Law School
Admission Council, the
Association of American
Law Schools, or the
Educational Testing Service.
Such publications and
courses probably provide a
familiarity with the
instructions and types of
questions in the LSAT, but
at least that much is
provided by the sample
LSAT in this handbook and
by the sample questions in
the free Law School
Admission Bulletin.

The pre-law advisors,
working out of the Placement
Office in Minor Hall, are
available to help applicants to
law school. The Pre-Law
Handbook is available by
writing the Law School
Admission Council,
Educational Testing Service,
Box 944, Princeton, N.J.
08540.

Cram review courses are a
rip-off. Don't waste your
money and time.
