NCBE and LSAC Conference on Best Practices

Dear Colleague,

LSAC and NCBE invite all law school faculty, researchers, and staff to a conference focused on innovative ways to measure student success. We will discuss a range of measurement topics including: bar preparation, job and skills analyses, test development, standard setting, validity and reliability, and outcomes assessments.

Here are a few of the benefits of participating in this conference:

·         You will gain better insight into assessment principles and how to evaluate high-stakes tests.

·         Share your ideas and opinions about the bar exam of the future in an interactive discussion led by the NCBE Testing Task Force’s independent research consultant.

·         You will have the opportunity to let the makers of the LSAT know what additional standardized measures you would like LSAC to provide to support admissions and your educational mission.

·         You will get an inside look at changes that are on the horizon for the LSAT, including digitization and remote proctoring.

Speakers include Judith Gundersen (President, NCBE), Gage Kingsbury (Psychometric Consulting), James Wollack (Professor in Quantitative Methods at University of Wisconsin), and other experts.

We are pleased to be able to subsidize one person from each LSAC-member school. The subsidy covers registration, airfare, and lodging. There is a moderate registration fee for others who would like to attend.

Join us and be part of the innovation! Visit LSAC.org for more details and to register.
