Computerized Testing Reports
From July 1995 through March 2005, LSAC carried out an extensive program of research aimed at evaluating the feasibility and advisability of implementing computerized testing for the LSAT. Over the course of this initiative, members of the LSAC Psychometric Research and Test Development Groups, along with 17 funded researchers from 12 universities, produced numerous research reports specific to the area of computerized testing. These reports are published under the category of Computerized Testing Reports.
Grants Reports
Through the work of the Research Grant Program, LSAC funds research on any aspect of legal training and legal practice related to the mission of LSAC. Reports on research funded through this program are published in the Grants Report series.
Archived Reports
LSAC has archived all earlier replications of LSAT Technical Reports, as well as all Research, Statistical, Computerized Testing, and Grants Reports that were published 10 or more years ago. These reports are still available upon request.
