The American Bar Association on Tuesday notified the Vermont Law School, the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law and Florida’s Ave Maria School of Law of their noncompliance with bar passage standards.
Standard 316 requires that 75% of an accredited law school’s graduating class pass the bar exam within two years, according to the ABA Journal.
For the three schools mentioned above, their 2019 graduating classes have fallen short of the mark. The institutions have been asked to submit reports on the causes by Feb. 1 and also to appear before a meeting of the ABA’s Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar from May 11-13.
