Should law schools grant students academic credit for externships that pay student participants? The American Bar Association’s Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar has debated that question for more than a year, and will take it up once again this week in Minneapolis.
Also on the agenda during a two-day meeting that begins Friday is reconsideration of an accreditation standard that allows some law schools to admit up to 10 percent of their classes from among high-performing undergraduates from their own university who have not taken the Law School Admission Test. Additionally, the council will take up proposals to broaden the ABA’s law school diversity rules.
