Accountability

Hold law schools and the ABA accountable for actions that concern the public, the profession, law students, and prospective law students.

"[A] principal catalyst behind a crusade to overhaul the business of legal education in the United States"

- ABA Journal

"LST deserves everyone's gratitude for an earnest and courageous effort to advance the discussion on a miserably complicated and difficult set of problems."

- UNC Law Professor

"It's not easy getting the attention of a mammoth organization like ABA, but LST did it."

- The American Lawyer

"The legal profession would be better off if law schools complied with LST."

- Above the Law
