The first item on the list is “what was the last legal problem that you were involved with?” This may seem easy, but it is actually quite difficult to answer given the variety of issues that a LSAJ can ask you about. You might want to consider a brief explanation of what the last major issue was that you had to deal with before law school. This is one of the easier areas to prepare for and should be tackled while you are still working at your school. If you find it difficult to answer this question, you may want to contact your school counselor.
The next item on the exam list is “how many cases did you take out of court?” This is a relatively simple question and should be tackled after you have discussed with your school counselor the number of cases that you think you may have to deal with in a typical law school semester. It is important to note that if your answer is too low, your chances of being accepted into law school may be impacted. On the other hand, if you answer too high, you will not be able to compete with those students who chose a lower number of cases. Consult your school counselor to see which number is right for you.
The next item on the exam list is “what is the common format for the legal documents that you need to fill out and how?” The typical test will ask you to read an essay about a legal issue. Once you have finished reading the document, you will be asked to select a case number from the document. Then, you will be given a variety of legal forms to complete. You are expected to read the forms and complete them according to the format described in the essay.
Next, you will be asked to write a paragraph on the topic, including your opinion on the matter. The main idea of the paragraph is to convince your review panel that you have the experience and knowledge necessary for the position. You should make sure that you review the topic in enough depth to allow your review panel to see that you understand the topic. If you do not understand the topic, this could hurt your chances at getting a job in law school.
Another item on the exam is “what are your strengths and weaknesses as a legal practitioner?” Again, this is an easy question to answer since your legal education has taught you all of the skills you will need to succeed in the United States justice system. However, it is also important for you to be honest about your flaws. Too many students who take the exam do not disclose their weaknesses. This could easily turn the evaluation on its head and give you a bad grade when it should be a fairly even question.
Finally, “why should I choose law school over online studies?” This is a subjective question. It really depends on the student. Some students have financial issues that preclude them from taking the exam. Other students simply prefer to get their degree from an accredited university that provides a full range of educational opportunities.
Most law schools have prerequisites for taking the exam, so you will have to find out what those are before you apply. Some universities require a high school diploma or GED. Others simply require that you have taken and passed the NCLEX. There are a number of other prerequisites, and they vary from school to school. In order to be sure that you are prepared for the legal exam in 2021, it is important for you to do as much preparation as possible.
