LSAT® Scores of Economics Majors: The 2022-23 Class Update and 7-Year History
Michael L. Nieswiadomy
Journal of Economic Education, v55 n4 p455-460 2024
In this article, the author updates his prior studies of LSAT® scores (Nieswiadomy 1998, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2017) using current data for 2022-23 law school applicants, finding that economics majors remain at or near the top of all applicants. Results of the previous studies showing economics majors scored well on the LSAT® have often been posted on economics (and other) departments' Web sites. Economics majors (mean LSAT® score of 161.7) had the highest score of the 20 largest disciplines (in terms of the number of law school applicants). Economics places second behind math/physics (164.3) out of 30 discipline groupings created to contain students with similar majors. Also, data from the past seven years (2016-17 through 2022-23) reveal similar rankings.
