ABA releases draft report on law school financing

The ABA Task Force on the Future of Legal Education has released its draft report for comment. The draft cites the 53-page report and recommendations created by the Special Committee on the Impact of Law School Debt that was approved by the ISBA Assembly in June.

On the issue of the impact of the law student debt crisis on career choices and the distribution of legal services throughout society, the report specifically cited the ISBA’s efforts saying: “A recent report by the Illinois State Bar Association has described this development in compelling terms and offered several recommendations the Task Force has embraced.”
