Texas Supreme Court moves to remove American Bar Association from law school accreditation

Blaze-

The Texas Supreme Court will itself take up the responsibility of accreditation.

Texas may be the first state in the union to remove the American Bar Association from the accreditation process for law schools.

The Texas Supreme Court issued an order Friday indicating that the ABA’s role would be reduced and the court itself would instead consider which law schools are approved under the admission rules.

Texas is the first to strip the ABA from power, but other states are considering similar actions, including Florida, Ohio, and Tennessee. The anticipated changes would take place beginning Jan. 1.
