Law School To Raise Entrance Requirements
The law school faculty voted to upgrade admission requirements, Dean M. Carl Slough said today.
Effective immediately every applicant must take the law school admission test given nationally by the Educational Testing Service in Princeton, N. J. The test will be given several times in Kansas this year. The fee is $10. Applicants should write to the testing service for details, Dean Slough said.
"The faculty also has changed the grade-point average medium as a further guarantee to both the student and School of Law that the former will be able to handle the professional studies," he continued.
Any student whose average is above 1.20 will be admitted, but must take the Law School admission test. Those whose averages fall between 1.00 to 1.20 will be admitted at the discretion of the faculty.
Since the Kansas Supreme Court ruling requiring seven academic years of study for a person taking the Kansas bar examination, the Law School has required entering students to have a bachelor's degree from a college or university of recognized standing.
"The Law School will not accept a student whose college or university average for all work taken is below 1.00, computed on a 3-point scale," the dean said.
"The decision to accept or reject the applicant for admission depends upon the evaluation of personality, the test score on the Princeton examination and the college transcript," Dean Slough said. "If the student falls in this intermediate area, he should make arrangements for a personal interview with the curriculum committee of the School of Law."
