Concord Law School at Purdue University Global, a California-based law school not accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA), is on the verge of obtaining approval from the Indiana Supreme Court for their students to sit for the Indiana bar exam.

This digital approach is one of the main reasons it is not eligible for ABA accreditation. Martin Pritikin, dean of Purdue Global Law, expressed optimism about the developments, saying that the Indiana Supreme Court has drafted their own proposed rule amendment which carries broader implications than anticipated.
