Accreditation affecting bar application

Post by ohhkaayy » Wed Jan 04, 2017 8:24 pm

I don't know if I'm posting this in the correct place, please let me know if I'm wrong.

I transferred from one accredited law school to another. I just found out that my former school is possibly losing its accreditation and closing its doors. I know that I will still be able to graduate, but will the school's closure affect my ability to apply for the Bar? I emailed the Board of Bar Examiners but haven't heard back yet.

Thank you in advance.

As far as I understand it, only the accreditation status of the school that grants your degree is of any importance.

When applying for the Bar you have to get a letter from each law school you've attended. If I can't get it, wouldn't that stop the process?
