Deans express concerns over ABA proposal for online law school accreditation without clear rationale or identified problems. They demand data on bar passage and employment rates to justify the change.
Supporters like Purdue Global Law School advocate for the proposal, citing increased access to legal education. Recent court rulings have allowed students from unaccredited schools to take the bar exam.
Deans question the success of online J.D. programs in preparing practice-ready attorneys and the need for measuring their effectiveness compared to traditional law schools.
Kelley Mauerman, from Purdue Global Law School, highlights her experience at an ABA-approved law school before joining PGLS, emphasizing a background in legal education and judicial settings.
