ABA voted to allow law schools to accept the GRE in place of the LSAT.

This is to allow law schools to create fuzzy standards and allow more students to enroll (and more federally backed loans) without any negative consequences to reputation. State Supreme Courts need to stop farming out accreditation to the ABA. It took them a decade to do anything about the 4th tier diploma mills that were ruining the lives of students. They are not a capable regulatory or accreditation body.

What makes you think state supreme courts would move any with any more dispatch than the ABA has?

Yep. There is now constant pressure to lower the bar, democratize the standard to the lowest common denominator. All in the name of inclusion.
As a group, lawyers are pretty smart. Law requires not only some sort of logical thinking but an ability to understand and apply concepts in abstraction.
Tough admission requirements may sound like elitism, but are necessary to turn out good lawyers. The "average" person can't cut it. "Dumbing down" does not serve anyone.

After being in law school for a year and deciding I wanted to do the JD/MBA at UNLV, the hardest part about the GRE was having to remember how to write cursive for the two or three paragraphs they require you to write. Basically stating you would not copy the questions or answers and that you were there to take the exam to be admitted into a college program and not to sell the questions and/or answer options to someone else. (something like that.)

I may be remembering wrong (or maybe just dating myself), but didn't the LSAT have something similar?

@3:48p – Yep, but the LSAT was more difficult than remembering how to write in cursive ~18 years ago.
