The American Bar Association (ABA) is taking significant steps toward allowing fully online law schools. This move comes amid a federal civil-rights complaint against the ABA and three law schools, alleging racial discrimination in their admissions programs. Additionally, law schools may soon have more information about the educational and economic challenges faced by applicants, as noted by Karen Sloan. Key figures in the legal education community, including Joanna Perini-Abbott of Lewis & Clark Law School, Brian Gallini of Willamette University College of Law, Robert Ahdieh of Texas A&M University School of Law, and Sophie Martin of the National Conference of Bar Examiners, have shared their perspectives on this 'big deal' development.
