ABA approves two new law schools
Tom at 2:43 PM ET

The American Bar Association has approved provisional accreditation for the law schools of Florida International University in Miami and Florida A&M University in Orlando. ABA accreditation allows graduates of the schools to sit for the bar exam to become lawyers in any state. Full accreditation can be approved after the schools graduate their first class and undergo additional review. There are now 188 law schools in the US approved to confer the first degree in law (J.D.), of which 7 have provisional status. A list of the ABA approved law schools is here. The Miami Herald has more.
