The Council of the American Bar Association (ABA) Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar has appointed a special advisory committee to assist in reviewing the standards for the approval of law schools. The committee will be guided by the council’s “Core Principles and Values” and will focus on “ensuring that the council’s standards enable law schools to innovate and provide a quality legal education without imposing needless burdens or costs.” It will gather information from key constituencies and provide counsel on what changes to the standards are appropriate. The committee is made up of state supreme court justices and law school deans and professors. Read more in a news release from the ABA.
