Last week, the news broke that a committee of the American Bar Association recommended against provisional accreditation for the UNT Dallas College of Law.
This news was applauded in some circles by commentators who point to the very real problems—in Texas and nationwide—of recent law graduates struggling with crippling student loan debt as well as a bleak legal job market. The ABA’s committee, and other critics, claim the fledgling law school is admitting too many students whose LSAT scores and undergraduate GPAs traditionally do not bode well for their chances of succeeding in law school and passing the bar. But what the ABA committee and these critics are ignoring are the vision and purpose behind the UNT Law School, and the fact the students who comprise its inaugural class are anything but traditional, and have already demonstrated the traits necessary to become good attorneys.
