June LSAT Takers Down Slightly From 2012

LSAC has released test taker data for the June LSAT.  23,997 individuals took the June test, down 1,226 - 4.9% - from June 2012.   The number of first-time takers was down about 5% compared to June 2012.

That can't be good news for law schools, particularly since the number of test takers also declined in 2010, 2011, and 2012. I suppose it's a somewhat shallower decline than the double-digit drops in previous years, but given that the low number of law school applicants is already placing a considerable strain on law schools signs of even less applicants in future can't cause any optimism.

Sigh... too bad it's unlikely to translate to fewer schools, otherwise it would be causing quite a bit of optimism in my quarter. Off with their heads!

I'm sure schools will just inflate the life rafts of smaller class size and faculty cuts and weather out the storm.

Instead, we just have fewer and less talented applicants harrying after the still abundant spots on board.
