The weak cosmic censorship conjecture in the near-extremal BTZ black hole has been tested using test particles and fields.It has been claimed that such a black hole can be overspun.In this paper,we review the thermodynamics and weak cosmic censorship conjecture in BTZ black holes using the scattering of a scalar field.The first law of thermodynamics in the non-extremal BTZ black hole is recovered.For the extremal and near-extremal black holes,due to the divergence of the variation of entropy,we test the weak cosmic censorship conjecture by evaluating the minimum of the function f,and find that both the extremal and near-extremal black holes cannot be overspun.
