Abstract: 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.
