ABA Legal Education Section Continues Working on Updated Law School Approval Criteria

This special committee of the ABA Section met most recently July 23-24 in New York City to further develop its new draft approval criteria. Of most direct interest to those of us pushing for implementation of the Summit Recommendations, the committee seems to be moving toward more "performance based", skills-based criteria as envisioned by Recommendations 1 through 4.

According to ABA Section committee consultant Becky Stretch, we can follow the committee's work in detail at http://www.abanet.org/legaled/committees/comstandards.html
