The University of Hawaii William S. Richardson School of Law is the latest to allow certain undergraduates to apply without taking the Law School Admission Test.

The American Bar Association's Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar in August adopted rules allowing law schools to fill up to 10 percent of their classes with high-performing undergraduates from their home university who have not taken the LSAT. The ABA previously required schools to obtain special permission to make such admissions.

Hawaii's special enrollment program is open to those who graduated or will graduate from the Honolulu university between August 2014 and August 2015. They must not have already taken the LSAT or plan to sit for the June administration. They must have grade-point averages of 3.5 or higher and have scored at or above the 85th percentile on the SAT or ACT.
