Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=14629)
Must Be True. The correct answer choice is (C)
This question asks how proponents of the CAW plan believe cooperating lawyers will benefit. Once
again it pays to be familiar with the Passage Organization, since the proponents’ arguments can all be
found in the second paragraph. Further, since the author discusses conflicting viewpoints, we should
focus on the second half of the paragraph, which contains arguments in support of the plan.
Answer choice (A): While it does seem likely that there might be a more diverse clientele, and this
answer choice provides an apparently reasonable assertion, the passage never suggests anything about
participating lawyers’ gaining expertise.
Answer choice (B): This answer choice involves issues brought up in the third paragraph, but it does
not reflect what the proponents of the plan perceive as beneficial about adopting such plans. Again,
although this seems a reasonable assertion, it is not “strongly suggested” in the passage, so this response
is incorrect.
Answer choice (C): This is the correct answer choice, as it reflects the argument found in lines 33-37.
Answer choice (D): Since the passage suggests the possibility that lower fees will attract customers away
from other firms, this response is incorrect. In fact, this response is somewhat contrary to lines 29-32 of
the passage, which deal with the claim that these plans will attract customers who wouldn’t otherwise
use legal services.
Answer choice (E): This answer choice actually provides an argument against the legal plans, rather
than one offered by proponents of the plan, so this choice is wrong.
