The LSATTimer is a custom-designed analog watch, developed and distributed by LSATTimer Corp., and is intended for use during the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). The LSATTimer was established as a response to the ban by the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC), which writes and administers the LSAT, of any and all digital devices, including watches, cellphones and PDAs, during an administration of the LSAT exam. The LSATTimer is an analog watch, which comports with the guidelines as stipulated by the list of permissible items, which is published by LSAC and can be accessed at http://www.lsac.org/jd/LSAT/day-of-test.asp#allowed (a copy of the list has been made available below), that may be used during the LSAT exam. The LSATTimer features a custom-designed watch face, which counts thirty-five minutes, the length of each individual section of the LSAT exam, two hands (one for counting minutes and the other counts seconds), and a silicone bracelet. The company first made the LSATTimer available for sale in October of 2011, and markets one design model.

Background
The use of digital devices is prohibited on the LSAT. Beginning since June 2007, the LSAC forbade the use of digital clocks, digital timers, and digital wrist watches, by examinees during the administration of an LSAT exam. Additionally, mechanical pencils and pens may not be used during the exam, and it is even recommended that neither of these items be brought into a testing room by any individual that plans to take the LSAT exam. The LSAC strictly enforces these policies and proctors of the LSAT are rigorously briefed to comply with these and other measures that it sets out. Any individual who is suspected or caught to be in violation of the policies as stipulated by the LSAC will be subject to disciplinary action, which can result in the forfeiture or confiscation of the individual's exam. Furthermore, any individual that does not comply with the instructions of the proctors, for example exiting the facility during a break when instructed not to, will be reported for misconduct.

'''IMPORTANT: Electronic devices, including cell phones, are not permitted in the test center, and the use of any electronic device is strictly prohibited. Any test taker discovered in possession of or using an electronic device, including but not limited to cell phones, pay phones, pagers, iPods™ or other media players, or personal computers, will be dismissed from the test and their score will be cancelled. This policy will be enforced from the time test takers arrive at the test center until they leave at the conclusion of the test—including the break. Violations will be grounds for score cancellation. LSAC and test center staff assume no responsibility for personal items. '''
