OPINION | ROBERT STEINBUCH: Arkansans First


Last week, this fine paper again reported on important happenings at the taxpayer-funded school at which I work--the University of Arkansas Little Rock Bowen School of Law. To wit, my school expanded our "Pathway Program," which streamlines the law-school admissions process for highly qualified undergraduates attending Arkansas colleges that have chosen to partner with Bowen.

Under this program, students essentially are guaranteed admission to UA Little Rock's law school if they've earned a college grade-point average of 3.4 or higher and scored at least 154 on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT)--barring no character-and-fitness issues.

This is a big deal, because a significant problem with applying to law school is not knowing whether you'll get accepted and, if you do, which schools will give you offers.
