The virtual event, hosted by the Houston Bar Association, brings together 15 prominent legal educators and administrators to dissect the current accreditation framework. Participants will navigate the tension between institutional autonomy and national standards, addressing specific critiques regarding diversity initiatives and antitrust implications that have recently surfaced in the legal education sector.
Key figures slated to speak include Kellye Y. Testy of the Association of American Law Schools, Daniel R. Thies of the ABA Section of Legal Education, and Dean Erwin Chemerinsky of UC Berkeley School of Law. The program is designed to provide a comprehensive look at how individual states might expand their accreditation options, moving away from a singular reliance on the ABA. Attendees may earn continuing legal education credits, with the three-hour session running from 2 to 5 p.m. Central Time.
