I think there about 50 services out there.

I know a lot of people use Kaplan now.

However, don't put to much faith in a LSAT program, it can't hurt you, but the main thing is showing up to take the test. I don't know how many people put it off for years and in this day and age the vast majority if not all schools only take your highest score.

Therefore, you should study for the LSAT for a few months and take it. If it isn't the score you want you can retake, but odds are once you have a score you will just apply to law school and take the first step towards your legal career.

Good luck.

What matters is the instructor, not the company.

Truth.

In a way that is even true about law school or any form of education really.

A great teacher is awesome and memorable. I know from elementary school all the way through law school I had some great teachers and some s**t ones.

The great ones help you succeed regardless of the company, school, etc they teach at.

Same difference unless its in person (and not just the "in person" with video to watch either)
Aren't most online now anyways?

The "great ones" tend to gravitate towards the better companies/schools (both as profs and students)
We all know "that one guy" who was a genius but had to stay at community college to take care of dieing granma
or "that one guy" who got into IVY due to his rich connected uncle, but barely passed.

But overall certain places are better off FOR A REASON.

I don't think your analogy holds. No prep company can afford to be as selective as an Ivy when hiring instructors. There's no element of prestige and no tenure to lure the best and the brightest. And, unlike professors, the shelf-life of an LSAT instructor tends to be very very short (people good at the LSAT are also good at getting into top schools, becoming lawyers, and making a lot more money than anyone teaching prep classes). Prep companies thus tend to find themselves desperate for a warm body to stick at the front of the classroom.

Really experienced instructors with, say, 5-10 years experience under their belts are few and far between regardless what company you're looking at. No matter how good Such-and-Such LSAT Prep, Inc. might be, you don't want to be in a class taught by a newbie.

An extra dollar an hour is all it takes

Yea I don't know if LSAT instructor is the dream position of someone capable of killing it on the LSAT. If someone can pull a 170 on the LSAT and get into Harvard Law they will can probably do better than being an LSAT instructor.

This is one of those "How the hell did we get here" moments

Scroll up and watch how this devolved into what you are now thinking it is.

But yeah, if you are going to do (whatever the thing is in question) anyways, there will always be places that attract better talent. Just will. (even if it just means the less sucky of the suckers or whatever, who cares-the pool that they are hiring from, whatever)
