The nonprofit organization in July asked the 199 law schools accredited by the American Bar Association to provide more detailed job statistics than they now report to the ABA or U.S. News & World Report. Critics who contend that law schools overstate the career prospects and earning potential of their graduates hailed the move.
However, just 11 law schools met the Sept. 10 deadline for responses, and only three said they were considering providing the requested data — American University Washington College of Law, University of Michigan Law School and Vanderbilt University Law School. Ave Maria School of Law indicated it would decide later this week whether to respond, according to the transparency project.
