California is one of a handful of states that permit law schools to function without ABA or State Bar accreditation. As a result, the state has 15 unaccredited law schools. Democratic state Sen. Joe Dunn is critical of their low passage rates and wants them under closer scrutiny. Some schools argue he wants to put them out of business. But Sy Littman, owner and dean of Inland Valley University College of Law, disagrees. "The Bar has requisites. You follow them. Otherwise, don't be a law school."

State Sen. Joe Dunn wants more scrutiny of California’s 15 unaccredited law schools. Leaders at some of those schools say the senator really just wants to put them out of business.
Dunn, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is pushing legislation that would give oversight of the unaccredited schools to the State Bar’s Committee of Bar Examiners. That power now rests with the state’s Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education.
