This session will provide an overview of evolving opportunities to foster non-cognitive and formative assessment to achieve law school success. LSAC, long one of the nation’s leaders in pre-admission cognitive assessment, has launched several initiatives to assist law schools with additional forms of assessment that can foster student success while also fulfilling relevant accreditation standards. This session will highlight recent studies and initiatives that focus on non-cognitive skills to foster academic access and present an overview of emerging initiatives designed to provide diagnostic and formative assessment tools to help law schools analyze and address issues facing students at risk regarding bar examination performance. The session will feature opportunities for attendees to give feedback and ask questions about how their law schools might become engaged in these and related initiatives.
