21 State Attorneys General Urge ABA to Eliminate Race-Based Accreditation Criteria for Law Schools

In a recent development, 21 State Attorneys General have formally urged the American Bar Association (ABA) to remove race-based criteria from its law school accreditation standards. The focal point of their concern is Standard 206, which the AGs claim compels law schools to contravene existing legal guidelines as per the Court’s directive. They emphasized in their letter that the proposed revisions to the standard offer minimal solutions to these issues.
