In a major step toward greater ideological freedom in the legal profession, the state of Florida ended the left-wing American Bar Association’s (ABA) dominance over its law schools on Thursday.
In its nine-page order, the Florida Supreme Court revealed that it has amended the state’s bar admissions rule “to end the rule’s reliance on the American Bar Association (ABA) as the sole accrediting agency for law schools whose graduates are eligible to sit for this state’s General Bar Examination.” (Lawyers are required to pass the bar exam to practice law in each state.)
