Law School Admission Council (LSAC)’s Post

Join us in celebrating CLARA's very own Dr. Jade Caines Lee who is the recipient of a National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) 2024 Validity and Fairness Research Award. Her proposal, titled The HBCU Effect: Examining Factors Related to First-Time Bar Passage for HBCU Law School Alumni, focuses on the effects that graduate institution type (HBCU vs. non-HBCU) has on bar passage rates. The findings may better inform and empower HBCUs and their collaborative partners (e.g., law schools, law firms, and other business/professional entities).  https://lnkd.in/gFuSqauq

Now, you know that The National HBCU Pre-Law Summit & Law Expo has to shout out ALL of our illustrious Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This event was created for our HBCU family. 🖤 www.hbcuprelawsummit.org #hbcuprelawsummit #hbculovealldayeveryday

Oh, this is just WILD and NOT an SNL skit!! Rep. Jasmine Crockett started listing off all her "accomplishments" during a hearing. So let's examine them, shall we? According to one report: "The honorary degree she boasts about is from an HBCU that once lost its accreditation, has 380 students and an 87% acceptance rate, and is ranked 1,745th in the country. The law degree she holds is from a third-tier law school." Watch her "testimony", do your own research and then weigh in - is this report true? REPOST for exposure! #thinblueline #lawenforcement

Blackness + Qualification =? Denial?or qualified? Let's discuss? How i view this is its a complex and nuanced issue. While it is important to strive for diversity and equal representation, merit and qualifications should be the primary factors in decision-making. It is crucial to create a fair and inclusive environment where individuals are judged based on their skills, abilities, and experience, rather than their gender or race. However, it is also important to acknowledge and address any systemic barriers or biases that may exist, and take proactive measures to promote diversity and inclusivity. The goal should be to create a level playing field where everyone has an equal opportunity to contribute and succeed.

The crisis in Israel and Gaza is a complicated issue. There is so little we can directly control.

That is why LBCC felt it was important to join in the below letter to local law schools. What is within our control, we should try to do
