The National Law Journal reports that the ABA is likely to approve the interpretation changes to rule 301(a) I previously wrote about:
Amid pressure from the U.S. Department of Education, the American Bar Association is poised to tighten a rule that requires law schools to show that they are graduating students who can pass the bar exam.
The ABA is expected to approve the controversial measure at its meeting in Los Angeles from Feb. 6 through Feb. 12, when its House of Delegates will consider a recommendation from the ABA's legal education section.
There have been no changes to the proposed interpretation, so far as I can tell. As a result, I post now only to update the table with 2007 numbers. Not much that is news here, other than to note Golden Gate University spent the year out of the danger zone.
