The LEAP Center offered a Mock LSAT to SHSU pre-law students this fall, making 16 semesters in a row that the Center has offered this service.
Approximately 57 students showed up for four-hour test on a Saturday morning, simply to assess where they stand on the single most important criterion for being accepted to law school.
For the past 10 years, SHSU has ranked in the top 150 “law school feeders,” a ranking put out by LSAC. Our students have gone to top schools around the country and, of course, in Texas. Part of the reason for this is the many programs offered by the LEAP Center: (1) mock LSATs every semester; (2) Mock Law class every spring; (3) a strong Pre-Law Society organization on campus; (4) law-school trips; and (5) many other programs designed to promote the skills emphasized by law schools.
Of course, it largely begins with our students, who are willing to spend half a Saturday taking a test simply to invest in their future.
