GAO Releases Report on Law School Accreditation
Posted by admin on Mar 12, 2007
The U. S. Government Accountabilty Office (GAO) has issued a report on Law School Accreditation. The report was drafted in response to concerns about the reauthorization of the American Bar Association (ABA) as the accrediting body for law schools in the United States. The U.S. Department of Education
typically reauthorizes the ABA every 5 years. However, in 2006 the
Department of Education extended authorization to the ABA for only 18
months, so that specific concerns outlined in the report could be studied.
