Legal Education

From the Chair: Reviewing the Standards: A Call for Comment

In 2018, all accreditation-related functions of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar were merged into the Council of the Section. Among the activities assumed by the Council was the work that had previously been performed by the Standards Review Committee. I write this column to describe the process now undertaken in proposing new and amending existing Standards and Rules of Procedure for the Approval of Law Schools (collectively the Standards) and to encourage participation in that process, as the Council considers important changes.
