JD Journal reported earlier this week….
The ABA published letters on their website detailing the accreditation statuses of several law schools, making some angry about the public disclosure.
The American Bar Association has decided to go public, posting letters on their website of the law schools not in compliance. One of those letters called out was Western Michigan University Thomas M. Cooley Law School for their admission standards, as first reported by Inside Higher Ed.
The ABA posted over 12 letters over the last year-and-a-half about the accreditation problems at each law school in question. The most common accreditation problem was for having low admissions standards. Some of the other law schools called out by the ABA reacted by promising to address their accreditation concerns, but pointing out that they were still accredited.
Well worth a read if you have been following this story.
