The Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that trainees from non-American Bar Association-accredited law schools can sit for the bar in Indiana.
The order changing Admission and Discipline Guidelines specifies that for admission to the Indiana bar, the candidate needs to have gotten a J.D. from a U.S. law school that, at the time of the candidate’s graduation, was on the authorized list of the ABA-accredited law schools. Nevertheless, the State Board of Law Inspectors has the discretion to waive that requirement for candidates from non-approved law schools who have actually satisfied specific instructional requirements.
