Faulkner University's Thomas Goode Jones School of Law is provisionally approved by the American Bar Association (ABA). The School of Law received provisional approval on June 11, 2006. Students at the School of Law and those who graduate while the school is provisionally approved are entitled to the same recognition given to students and graduates of fully approved law schools and provisional approval permits them to take the bar examination and practice in every state.
The ABA gives a provisionally approved law school two to five years to bring its legal education program into full compliance with the Standards. A new law school must be provisionally approved before it can be reviewed for full approval. The School of Law is determined to devote all necessary resources to not only meet the standards for full approval but to exceed those standards.
Questions regarding provisional approval may be directed to the Consultant to the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar of the American Bar Association, 321 N. Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60610 (312-988-6738).
