4 more law schools found to be in compliance with ABA's new bar passage standard
In May, the ABA found 10 law schools did not meet an accreditation standard requiring a bar passage rate of at least 75% within two years of graduation; but as of February, six have now demonstrated compliance. Those four join Florida Coastal School of Law and the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law, which received compliance notifications in August. “We are very delighted. We worked very hard to accomplish that goal,” Jace C. Gatewood, the dean of Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School, told the ABA Journal.
