Law School Transparency Still Fighting Status Quo After a Decade
Bloomberg Law tells the story of a nonprofit consumer advocacy and education group, Law School Transparency, that has become a key part of a shift in how consumers weigh the benefits versus the substantial costs of law school.
One of the early findings of the 10-year-old nonprofit was that high starting salary salaries often listed for law school graduates were based on a low number of alumni responses.
A more-effort led to a revision of accreditation standards to require 75 percent of each school’s graduates to pass the bar exam within two years of graduation, in order to ensure schools only admit students equipped for practicing law.
