LSAC doesn't allow posting LSAT questions online without a license and has issued warnings in the past. They require a license for the display of all LSAT questions - even just a single one.
I believe it should be permitted - both because the LSAT is a gatekeeper to the legal profession, and this would help level the playing field.
I also believe posting individual questions for discussion falls under educational "fair use", but LSAC doesn't think so.
LSAC could get Facebook to shut down this group for copyright infringement if they reported their questions were posted here, and they could sue the law school applicants who posted them.
(How many law school applicants have the resources to fight LSAC? Have you seen their IRS filings? Even prep companies can't successfully fight them.)
So, to protect the group and the law school applicants unaware of LSAC's position, I will continue to remove photos of actual LSAT questions, as I do in all the LSAT groups I moderate.
If they reported the group to Facebook, Facebook could shut it down whether it's warranted or not.
We have to remove those questions in order to avoid jeopardizing the ability of the group to continue functioning.

Thanks for understanding.
