Saw an LSAT Unplugged video about the writing section potentially being scored soon... thoughts?
I am just curious—if this were to be the case—how much time would LSAC give? I would think at least 6 months to 1 year notice, simply because of how much prep goes into studying, but I don't know how much time historically LSAC has given for changes. Anyone have any educated guesses or ideas?

If they start scoring it, it's still unlikely that it'll matter much to your admissions chances. They've scored the writing sections of the GMAT and GRE for years now, and no school really cares. The only way it'd matter is if the ABA inexplicably decided to weight the writing score heavily in their ranking calculations, and there is little to no reason they would.
I don't have any more information than you do, but a scored writing section would be a massive shift and likely come with a significant buffer before implemented. I understand the importance of writing nowadays, especially with so many people using AI, but writing doesn't really utilize reasoning or comprehension skills. Bottom line: it would take a long time and, if they do it, would likely be well after your last LSAT.
@AltanM I appreciate your response, and I totally agree!
