Interesting article.
"And so, for current, fully approved schools, the new interpretation would roughly require the following for continued approval:
1) Over the preceding five years of bar exam administrations, the first-time bar exam pass rate of each law school must meet a state-based rate for at least 3 of those years. 2) The principal state-based metric is the bar passage rate of first-time bar exam takers who have graduated from ABA-approved law schools."

Date: July 6th, 2007 2:49 PM Author: nubile multi-billionaire ticket booth Well... in terms of making ABA accrediation mean something, it does. Also: it would probably seriously hamper these schools' ability to find students. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=653918&forum_id=2#8344944) |

Date: July 6th, 2007 3:05 PM Author: copper aphrodisiac address Yeah that's right. The loss of accreditation would be devastating to the business model and to the self-respect of any university-based school. But there is still a level of "California accredited" that is above non-accredited. The California accredited students adn the non-accreds have to take and pass the "Baby Bar" exam before they can take the full bar exam. But even if you're non-accreditied, your alums might grow up to be Mayor of LA. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=653918&forum_id=2#8345009) |

Date: July 6th, 2007 3:06 PM Author: Thriller primrose kitty It's a coworker, though in a different department. She got a 147 LSAT, which nicely compliments her Phoenix MBA. She has a sticky note on her monitor that says "BREATHE," which I assume is there because it's difficult for her to remember to respirate while reading.
