Law School Accreditation

Law school accreditation is the process through which a recognized authority, such as the American Bar Association (ABA), evaluates whether a law school meets specific standards of quality in curriculum, faculty, facilities, and student support. Accreditation ensures that the education provided prepares students adequately for legal practice and that graduates are eligible to sit for the bar exam in most jurisdictions. It serves as a quality assurance measure, helping prospective students identify reputable programs and maintaining consistency across legal education. Accredited schools are subject to periodic reviews to uphold standards and promote continuous improvement.
