In a unique and somewhat unusual arrangement, 16 colleges across the U.S. have all agreed that just one law firm—West Virginia-based Steptoe & Johnson PLLC—will provide legal services to their institutions.
The Associated Colleges of the South (ACS), an Atlanta-based nonprofit that represents the interests of 16 liberal arts colleges across the southern U.S., decided that in an effort to drive down internal costs and streamline best practices, the colleges would all use Steptoe & Johnson, according to a report by Inside Higher Ed.
