LAW SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES ON THE APPROVED LIST

OF THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION, 1969

The requirements shown in the following tables are stated in terms of academic years. An academic year in an

approved school consists of not less than thirty weeks if the students devote substantially all of their time to the

study of law, or not less than thirty-six weeks in a part-time school.

The figure in parentheses following the name of the law school indicates the year in which the

school was approved by the American Bar Association. The figures following M, and E directly

beneath the name of the school show the number of students in each class or year, namely, first year,

second year, third year, fourth year, graduate, and special or unclassified students. A few of the

schools have established extended programs for part-time students enrolled in morning classes and

the distribution of such part-time students is shown in the figures following M directly beneath E. The

figure in parentheses immediately following attendance total is included in the total. It indicates the

number of women attending law school classes.

Under the heading "Annual Tuition" the following symbols are used: r stands for resident; n for

nonresident; e for evening; er for evening resident, etc. Tuition given is for two semesters or

three-quarters of a school year; tuition for summer sessions is not shown.

Under "Requirements" Roman numeral indicates number of years of college study required for

admission as a law student. Capital letter m means full-time morning classes; capital E denotes

part-time classes held in evening. Arabic numerals show number of years required to complete course.

Parentheses indicate course may be shortened by local summer school work.

CHANGES IN THE LAW SCHOOLS

As of January 1, 1970, there were 144 law schools, training for the first professional degree inlaw, on the list of approved law schools of The American Bar Association.

At its January, 1969 Midyear Meeting, the House of Delegates granted provisional approval to

Arizona State University (Tempe), Texas Technological College, Portia (New England) School ofLaw, Inter American University of Puerto Rico, and the University of the Pacific, McGeorge

School of Law. Full approval was granted to South Texas College of Law at that same time. The

Northeastern University School of Law was granted provisional approval at the August, 1969Annual Meeting of the House of Delegates.

COMPARISON OF FALL 1969 ENROLLMENT WITH OTHER YEARS

The law school population reflects a marked increase. The Fall 1969 enrollment for all schoolsreporting, totaled 72,032. The increase is detailed in the table following:

Readers should bear in mind that many of the unapproved schools do not report their enroll-

ment figures and thus the actual law school population was higher each year than the figure shownabove. In the main the unreporting schools have been part-time evening schools.

CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOLS OF LAW

The American Bar Association expressly disapproves of correspondence law courses as a

means of preparation for bar examinations and for practice. Before one pursues a correspondence

law course, it is suggested that he first familiarize himself with the rules and regulations of the state

in which he intends to practice and inquire whether correspondence law courses are acceptable

under the applicable rules and regulations of the said state and any governmental agencies with

which one expects to secure employment. Correspondence law school graduates may take the bar

examinations only in Montana and California.

J.D. v. LL.B. AS FIRST PROFESSIONAL DEGREE

The appropriateness of the J. D. as against the LL.B degree, as the first professional degree in

law, was considered by the Council at the February 1964 Meeting. The Council constituted a

Committee which reported to the Council of the Section at the New York Meeting. The Proposed

Resolution submitted by the Committee was in turn approved by the Council and recommended to

the Section for favorable action. The Resolution was considered by the Section at its Annual

Meeting on August 11, 1964, and was adopted without a dissenting vote.

The Resolution adopted is as follows:WHEREAS, There is a lack of uniformity among the law schools approved by The American

Bar Association as to the name of the first degree in law awarded to successful applicants- and

WHEREAS, Confusion has arisen in the minds of the public as to the difference, if any,

between the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) degree and the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree; and

WHEREAS, Both of these degrees normally signify a first professional degree in law; and

WHEREAS, Graduation from an approved law school requires the successful completion of a

course of study substantially above and beyond that required for the bachelor's degree in the

Arts or Sciences: and

WHEREAS, The course of study in an approved law school is comparable to or more

demanding than other professional courses of study in which the professional doctor's degree is

awarded; and

WHEREAS, It is deemed to be in the best interest of the public and of the legal profession that

this confusion in terminology be eliminated and that the high standards of professional training

and the competency of graduates of approved law schools be recognized by a uniform practice

with respect to the title of the first degree in law.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Section of Legal Education and

Admissions to the Bar of The American Bar Association recommends for all approved law

schools favorable consideration of the conferring of the degree of Juris Doctor (J.D.) by such

schools on those students who successfully complete the program leading to the first profes-

sional degree in law.

CODE OF RECOMMENDED STANDARDS FOR BAR EXAMINERS

The American Bar Association makes the following recommendations to the duly constitutedauthorities in the several states who are vested with responsibilities and duties in respect to theadmission to the bar, and to lawyers and the law schools generally.

These recommendations were adopted by the House of Delegates. They represent the results ofaccumulated study and experience of a number of lawyers, examiners, and teachers of high standing.They are offered solely in the hope that they will afford guidance and assistance and will lead towarduniformity of objectives and practice throughout the United States.

I. BAR EXAMINERS

1. Qualifications. A bar examiner should be a practicing attorney with scholarly attainmentsand an affirmative interest in legal education and requirements for admission to the bar.

2. Tenure. A bar examiner should be appointed for a fixed term, but should be eligible forreappointment if his work is of high quality. Members of bar examining authorities should beappointed for staggered terms to insure continuity of policy, but there should be sufficient rotation inthe personnel of each authority to bring new views to the authority and to insure continuing interestin its work.

3. Compensation. The compensation, if any, which a bar examiner receives should not bedirectly dependent upon the number of persons taking the bar examinations.

4. Devotion to Duty. A bar examiner should be willing and able to devote whatever time isnecessary to perform the duties imposed upon him.

5. Essential Conduct. A bar examiner should be conscientious, studious, thorough and diligentin learning the methods, problems and progress of legal education, in preparing bar examinations,and in seeking to improve the examination, its administration and requirements for admission to thebar. He should be just and impartial in recommending the admission of applicants. He should exhibitcourage, judgement and moral stamina in refusing to recommend applicants who lack adequategeneral and professional preparation or who lack good moral character.

6. Adverse Influence, Conflicting Duties and Inconsistent Obligations. A bar examiner shouldnot have adverse influences, conflicting duties or inconsistent obligations which will in any wayinterfere or appear to interfere with the proper administration of his functions. A bar examinershould not participate directly or indirectly in courses for the preparation of applicants for baradmission nor act as a trustee of a law school or of a university of which a law school is a part orwith which a law school is affiliated. A bar examiner should so conduct himself that there may be nosuspicion that his judgement may be swayed by improper considerations.

II. ELIGIBILITY OF APPLICANTS

7. Burden of Proof. The burden of establishing eligibility is on the applicant.


8. College Education. Each applicant should be required to have had three full years of

successful college work before beginning the study of law, except that two years of college work may

be accepted for students enrolled in four-year full-time law school programs.

9. Law School Education. Each applicant should be required to graduate from a law school

approved by the American Bar Association before being eligible to take a bar examination. None of

the following should be substituted for law school training:

a. Private study, correspondence school or law office training;

b. Age or experience;

c. Waived or lowered standards of legal training for particular persons or groups.

I1l. MORAL CHARACTER

10. Responsibility Jbr Investigation. The bar examining authority or separate committees

should make a thorough investigation of the moral character of applicants for admission to the bar.

11. Law Student Registration. Applicants should be required to register with the appropriate

bar examining authority at the earliest feasible time after commencement of law study.

12. Investigation. Each applicant should be required to file a complete questionnaire. No

applicant should be recommended for admission unless he has been approved as to moral character.

Administrative machinery should be set up for the investigation of applicants where questionnaires

or interviews show that further information is needed or, on request. early investigation is war-

ranted. Each state should use the investigating services of the National Conference of Bar Exam-

iners in checking the character of an attorney-applicant seeking admission to practice.

13. Subpoena Power. The bar examining authority and character and fitness committees should

have the power to cause witnesses to be subpoenaed and to administer oaths.

IV. BAR EXAMINATIONS

14. Necessity of Written Examination. No person who is not a member of the bar of another

American or common-law jurisdiction should be admitted to practice until he has successfully

undergone a written examination accomplished tunder terms and conditions equivalent to those

applicable to all other candidates for bar admission.

15. Number of and Times for Examinations. The number of bar examinations in each jurisdic-

tion should not exceed two per year. The bar examinations should be held at such times as will

insure sufficient opportunity to the applicants for preparation after graduation, and in order not to

interfere with the applicant's classroom work in law school. The writte eyamination should cover not

more than six three-hour sessions, or their equivalent.

16. Purpose of Examination. The bar examination should test applicant's ability to reason

logically, to analyze accurately the problems presented to him, and to demonstrate a thorough


knowledge of the fundamental principles of law and their application. The examination should not bedesigned primarily for the purpose of testing information, memory or experience.

17. Subjects of Examination. In the selection of subjects for bar examination questions,although due regard should be given to fields of law that are of growing and recognized importance,the emphasis should be upon the basic and fundamental subjects which are ordinarily taught in lawschools.

18. Questions. The major portion of the bar examination should consist of questions in theform of hypothetical fact problems requiring essay answers. Questions should not be designed torequire answers based upon local case or statutory law. However, subjects of substantial localimportance may be included. Questions should not be labeled as to subject matter. The identicalproblem questions should not be repeated in the same jurisdiction. Questions should not be soworded as to be deceptive or misleading. Sufficient time should be allowed for answering thequestions to permit the applicant to make a careful analysis of the facts and to prepare well-reasonedanswers.

19. Preparation of Questions. The bar examining authority may utilize the services of expertdraftsmen to prepare bar examination questions, either by arranging for the drafting services ofqualified persons, including out-of-state law teachers, or by using the services of the NationalConference of Bar Examiners or other national agency. Before a question is accepted for use in a barexamination, whether drafted by the examiners or by expert draftsmen, every point of iaw in thequestion should be thoroughly briefed and the question should be analyzed and approved by themembers of the examining authority.

20. Non-Identity Grading. The identity of the writer of the examination paper should not beknown until the grades of all applicants have been finally determined.

21. Same Grader for Same Questions. In order to assure maximum uniformity in grading, allthe answers to a particular bar examination question should be graded by the same grader.

22. Expert Graders. The bar examining authority may utilize the services of trained expertgraders.

23. Borderline Reappraisal. A reappraisal of the border line cases should be provided in orderto insure fairness in grading.

the legal profession and to members of the public who are interested in standards for admission tothe bar.

26. Periodic Studies. A thorough study should be made of the bar examination results period-ically to determine its effectiveness and to discover defects and suggest improvements in the barexamination system.

27. Conference with Applicants. Bar examiners should be willing and available to discussgeneral problems of purposes, policies and procedures of the examination with applicants.
