During the Council of the American Bar Association Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar Nov. 17 meeting, held in Texas on Friday, Daniel Thies, vice chair, introduced a proposal that would allow a fully online law school to apply for, and potentially earn, provisional and full ABA-approval.
The council voted unanimously for the Strategic Review Committee to send out the proposal to Notice and Comment, with the details outlined in a memorandum from the SRC to Council dated Nov. 17.
