In addition to Senate Bill 1568 which does the following: "6046.7. (a) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Committee of Bar Examiners shall adopt rules that shall be effective on and after January 1, 2008 for the regulation and oversight of unaccredited law schools" "(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the committee shall adopt rules that shall be effective on and after January 1, 2008, for the regulation and oversight of nonlaw school legal programs leading to a juris doctor (J.D.) degree, bachelor of laws (LL.B.) degree, or other law study degree" and which will result in the elimination of ulitimately most correspondence law schools exept for a few, like Nortwestern California and William Howard Taft and will result in the elimination of the so called non-bar J.D. since law schools will be run by the committee that oversees admission to practice law which is what a Juris Doctor degree is for. NOW COMES AB2810: This gives the BPPVE an extenstion of time to operate while California works on completely overhauls the way it allows schools to operate in California. Of course with passage of the aforementioned bill, all non-ABA law schools will be "approved" to operate if not accredited by the State Bar. This bill will tighten up the requirements of issuing licenses to operate a degree-granting University within California and it is about time, The BPPVE never did their job right. Since California can not do the job right it should require all schools "state approved" to have to have DETC or WASC accreditation within 5 years in order to continue to operate. The State Bar with the bill should require correspondence law schools to become DETC accredited with 3 years and then after another 5 years become State Bar accredited if they meet the requirement. This would be a good solution to degree mills in California.
