The
University of La Verne, in Los Angeles, will keep its law school open, but as a
California-accredited campus instead of an ABA accredited school.
The
university voted to convert the law school from ABA accreditation to
accreditation by the State Bar of California—a move that will make it easier
for the Ontario, California, campus to meet program standards. But it will also
mean that graduates are only eligible to take the bar exam in California.
Under
the new plan, La Verne would become the first law school to drop its ABA
accreditation in the wake of that body adopting tougher bar exam standards. The
ABA in 2018 changed that standard, giving law schools two years instead of five
years to ensure that at least 75% of their graduates pass the licensing exam.
That
heightened standard was one factor that prompted the board of trustees last
month to order a full-scale review of the La Verne’s law school and its
sustainability. The school’s long-term finances were another catalyst for the
review, officials said. About 240 students are enrolled at the school.
Graduates
of ABA-accredited law schools had a 71% first-time pass rate on the July 2019
exam. That figure was 26% for graduates of California-accredited schools. The repeat bar exam taker rate was a dismal
14%. La Verne has a particularly horrible pass rate.
