Trump vs. the ABA: What Changes for Law School in 2026
Published 1 month ago
Description
On September 23, a federal panel votes on the ABA's power over law schools. This week, the University of Austin and the Federalist Society announced a law program that will never seek ABA accreditation. The panel weighs the Education Department staff's recommendation to stop recognizing the ABA as a law school accreditor. Texas and Florida already cut the ABA out of their bar rules this year.
Here's what actually changes for you, which law schools are exposed, what California's decades of non-ABA law schools show about bar passage, and the LSAT rule Texas kept when it dropped the ABA.
