Florida Coastal Law School, a for profit school in
Jacksonville is trying to stay alive. It
is seeking to become a nonprofit institution, a move that would enable it to
affiliate with an existing nonprofit university. Florida Coastal wants to
separate from InfiLaw Corp and, instead, be run by an independent board. InfiLaw Corp has absolutely bombed in its administration of for profit law schools. Charlotte Law School has closed and
Arizona Summit is closing soon. Florida
Coastal is the only law school left for InfiLaw.
Florida Coastal is in talks with an unnamed
nonprofit university to affiliate with.
The potential affiliate is not in Florida but is a university located in
the Southeast.
Florida Coastal has had accreditation problems and
declining enrollment in recent years. The school alleges that it is working to
improve its bar pass rates, graduate employment rates, and academic
credentials. Florida Coastal remains out
of compliance with the ABA’s accreditation standards pertaining to admissions
practices, and has been directed to make improvements in that area or risk
losing accreditation. Florida Coastal brought in 60 first-year students this
fall, down from 671 in 2011. Fewer than 48% of the school’s graduates passed
the July 2017 Florida Bar. That figure jumped to more than 62% for July 2018
exam.
The number of ABA-accredited for-profit law schools
is fortunately dwindling. They have been unmitigated disasters. Both the Thomas Jefferson School of Law and Western
State University College of Law previously converted to nonprofit institutions.
The Charleston School of Law also plans to become a nonprofit.
