Law school accreditation is a process that evaluates and certifies the quality of legal education programs. In the United States, the primary accrediting body is the American Bar Association (ABA), which sets standards for law schools to ensure they provide a rigorous and comprehensive education. Accreditation helps maintain the integrity of the legal profession and assures students that their education meets established criteria. Accredited law schools are recognized by state bar associations, which is essential for graduates seeking to take the bar exam and practice law. Without accreditation, a law degree may not be accepted, limiting career opportunities for graduates.
