 \n(2)determining the extent to which existing LSAT item types and subtypes aredesigned to assess these skills;and (3)suggesting test specifications andnew or refined item types that could be developed to assess any such skills.Overall,the findings validate the current LSAT,with its existing item typesand subtypes and their mix.The skills identified as important in recentliterature on legal reasoning are the ones on which the LSAT focuses,reasoning and text comprehension and analysis.Some areas for change wereidentified at the level of specific skill categories.Some new test  \nspecifications and item types and formats are suggested as possible ways ofaligning the skills that the LSAT is designed to assess.(Contains 38references.)(SLD)  \nReproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be madefrom the original document.  \nED 467818  \nLSAC RESEARCH REPORT SERIES  \nU.S.DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATIONOffice of Educational Rosearch and ImprovementEDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATIONCENTER(ERIC)  \nTnis document has been reproduced asreceived from the person or organizationoriginating it  \n口Minor changes have been made toimprove reproduction quality.  \n●Points ol view or opinions stated in thisdocument do not necessarily representofticial OERI position or policy.  \nGilbert E.PlumerLaw School Admission Council  \n数    Law School Admission CouncilComputerized Testing Report 97-08February 2000  \nPERMISSION TO REPRODUCE ANDDISSEMINATE THIS MATERIALHASBEEN GBANTED BY  \nTO THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCESINFORMATION CENTER(ERIC)  \n1  \n# A Review of the LSAT Using Literature onLegal Reasoning\n\nBESTCOPYAVALABLE  \nThe Law School Admission Council is a nonprofit corporation that provides services to the legaleducation community.Its members are 198 law schools in the United States and Canada.  \nCopyrightC 2000 by Law School Admission Council,Inc.  \nThese studies are published and distributed by the Law School Admission Council(LSAC).Theopinions and conclusions contained in these reports are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflectthe position or policy of the Law School Admission Council.  \nTable of Contents  \nExecutive Summary…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………1  \nAbstrac…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………1  \nIntroduction……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………2  \nDeductive Reasoning……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………3  \nSkill………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………  \nCurrent LSAT…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………4  \nFuture………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………4  \nAnalogical Reasoning……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………4  \nSkill……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………4  \nCurrent LSAT……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………5  \nFuture ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………6  \nIdentifying Implicit Assumptions…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………7  \nSkill…………………………","cbCairdcJukefyaw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairdcJukefyaw","pdf",358067,24,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Deductive Reasoning\n## Identifying Implicit Assumptions\n## Creativity/Imagination\n## Interpretation\n## Normative Thinking\n## Perceiving Logical Relations\n## Counseling and Negotiation\n# Conclusions\n# References","[{\"question\":\"What is the primary purpose of the review described in the report?\",\"answer\":\"To assess the feasibility and advisability of computerizing the LSAT by reviewing existing literature and comparing it with current LSAT item designs.\"},{\"question\":\"Which skills are highlighted as important for good legal reasoning?\",\"answer\":\"The report identifies reasoning and text comprehension and analysis as key skills emphasized in recent legal-reasoning literature and targeted by the LSAT.\"},{\"question\":\"What changes or developments does the report recommend?\",\"answer\":\"It suggests adjustments at the level of specific skill categories and proposes new test specifications, along with new or refined item types and formats, to better assess relevant skills.\"}]","A Review of the LSAT Using Literature on Legal Reasoning - Research Report Series | PDF"]
