The data collected by the ABA and published on this website and in the print edition of the ABA-LSAC Official Guide to ABA-Approved Law Schools satisfies a law school’s obligation to provide basic consumer information under the ABA’s Standard 509 of the Standards and Rules of Procedures for Approval of Law Schools. The dean of each law school certifies that the data is fair and accurate.
LSAC collects admission profile data and law school descriptions annually as a service to its member schools and to prospective law school applicants. The information provided by the law schools to LSAC in no way affects the ABA accreditation process.
Neither the ABA nor LSAC conducts an audit to verify the accuracy of the information submitted by the law schools. The information on this website may not precisely match the current print edition of the ABA-LSAC Official Guide to ABA-Approved Law Schools, and it is possible that some of the information, including ABA accreditation status, may change during the year. Check the website of the ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar and the websites of the individual law schools for the most up-to-date information.
Neither LSAC nor the ABA condones, approves, or sanctions use of the collected data to rank law schools. Both organizations disapprove of all rankings of law schools.
