According to a June 2019 memo, if a law school is out of compliance with the standard and in a subsequent year reports a bar pass rate of at least 75%, the school “will have cured its noncompliance and will be found back in compliance with the standard.”
Charleston School of Law accomplished that in February 2021. Larry Cunningham, the school’s dean, told the ABA Journal in an email they were able to demonstrate Standard 316 compliance with a class of 2019 pass rate above 75%.
“ABA Standard 316 sets a floor, not a ceiling. We are going to continue striving to improve our bar passage rate, which is an important outcome for students,” he wrote.

The Massachusetts Audubon Society has long managed its land in western Massachusetts as crucial wildlife habitat. Nature lovers flock to these forests to enjoy bird-watching and quiet hikes, with the occasional bobcat or moose sighting.
But in 2015, the conservation nonprofit presented California’s top climate regulator with a startling scenario: It could heavily log 9,700 acres of its preserved forests over the next few years.
The group raised the possibility of chopping down hundreds of thousands of trees as part of its application to take part in California’s forest offset program.
The state’s Air Resources Board established the system to harness the ability of trees to absorb and store carbon to help the state meet its greenhouse gas reduction goals.
