BIENNIAL REPORT
2009–2011
As of May 2011, more than 30 law colleges in India had adopted the LSAT—India
™
as one
admission criterion for their 2011 applicants. Among them are the IIT Kharagpur’s Rajiv Gandhi
School of Intellectual Property Law (the only law school run by an Indian Institute of Technology)
and Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) in Sonipat. Some others are UPES—Dehradun, KLE Society’s
Law College—Bangalore, and JSS Law College—Mysore. LSAT—India was administered for LSAC
by Pearson Vue, which has a satellite office in India.
LSAC’s six-year project with the National Institute of Magistracy (NIM) in Romania came to a close
in 2001. NIM is a branch of the Ministry of Justice that selects and trains lawyers seeking to become
judges and prosecutors in Romania. This project helped NIM develop its own Romanian-language
test of critical-thinking skills. It also gave LSAC a good source of data about the translatability of
LSAT questions.
In China, Peking University School of Transnational Law, a new graduate-level, English-language
law school in that country, began in 2010 to use the LSAT (without the writing sample or unscored
section) for admission purposes. LSAC began working to identify other Chinese law schools that
may have interest in using the test as well.
