법학전문대학원 입시제도 개선에 대한 소고

Law schools continue to rely heavily on the numeric factors (such as, LEET and GPA) in making admissions decisions despite the prevalence of studies and law review articles that indicate the value of the numeric factors as a predictor is overrated. Thus, law schools continue to award and deny admission, which is the first step towards entering the legal profession, for entire groups of potential students based on a measure that has limited utility in determining whether the applicant would be a successful attorney. Since direct prohibition or restriction of ‘re-application to different law school’ may be unfair, unconstitutional, or illegal controversy, it is desirable to seek indirect measures to control it. Specifically, it is possible to assume a plan to control the occurrence of indiscriminate Re-applicants through a plan to apply a two-year average when granting LEET grades and a plan to submit the results of the last two years together. In the mid- to long-term, it is necessary to consider giving law school applicants an opportunity to take multiple LEET tests in the relevant year, such as the LSAT test in the United States. To this end, there are major challenges that must be solved first, such as the expansion and reorganization of LEET management institutions. However, if applicants apply for the law school admission process after sufficiently verifying their LEET level through several re-taking tests, and these test scores are added up and included in the admission process data, the current so-called "Re-Application Rush" is expected to gradually calm down.
