  1. Nothing ethical.  That's the ethics exam required by some states in lieu of taking a course during law school.  The LSAT asks nothing about laws or cases.


  2. Example ethics question on LSAT.

    Attorney for the plaintiff knows that he cannot win a substantial amount of money from the defendant without a medical expert's testimony on the seriousness of the injury.  The expert requires a $5,000 advance payment for his court appearance but the attorney cannot afford to make the payment.  Should the attorney:

    A.  Ask his client for the amount.

    B.  Offer to pay the expert double the amount if he waits for the verdict.

    C.  Blackmail the expert with glossy photos.

    D.  Get the money from a loan shark posing as the expert.

  3. They added ethics to the LSAT? When I took it just 4 years ago it was all logic. You have to take a separate ethics test to be admitted to the bar (MPRE, multistate professional responsibility exam), and in some states, like New York, they ask more ethics questions on the state specific part of the bar exam. When I took the LSAT it was all logic questions. You didn't have to know anything going in, it was all figuring stuff out on the test.
