Introduction:
The American Bar Association (ABA) promulgates rules and regulations that apply to all United States law schools with ABA-accreditation and approval. Those rules apply specifically to schools offering programs leading to a J.D. degree. In August 2016, the ABA Council approved certain changes to the ABA Standards and Rules of Procedure for Approval of Law Schools, which became effective on August 9, 2016.1 The changes affected not only J.D. programs, but also study abroad programs offered by ABA member schools.
Outline:
I. Amendments to American Bar Association Criteria Relating to Foreign Programs
A. Summer and Intersession Programs
B. Student Study at a Foreign Institution
II. First-Year Courses That Focus on International or Comparative Law
