The ABA declined to approve Indiana Tech School of Law's initial application for provisional accreditation. The story is here. The school now will hustle to receive provisional accreditation prior to graduation of its inaugural class. We've seen what happens when new law schools struggle to get accredited.
Sometimes you have to wonder, should someone who gambled so heavily on attending an unaccredited law school be able to pass the character and fitness portion of the bar? What does it say about someone's character when they're so willing to take a huge, potentially life-destroying, risk regarding their own life? Are these the type of people we want advising clients?
I truly hope Indiana Tech Law never gets accreditation, but the backbone devoid ABA will eventually grant it; we all know it's inevitable.

If they'll accredited LMU (and they did), they'll accredit anything.

the ABA would accredit a ham sandwich. They would put it on the accreditation committee if it was a ham and cheese sandwich. What does that say about this hot mess in Indiana.
