The American Bar Association approved Golden Gate University School of Law’s teach-out plan weeks after several current students and the school’s alumni association filed suit against the institution for breach of contract and seven other counts, including the appointment of a receiver, due to the school sunsetting its J.D. program at the end of this academic year.

Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar of the ABA posted notice on Wednesday saying that after careful review of the Law School’s revised teach-out plan submitted on Feb. 9, the Law School’s accreditation will continue until July 1, 2027—which could be removed earlier—for the “limited purpose of allowing the Law School to receive credits from currently enrolled students earned as transient students at other ABA-approved law schools and to issue the Law School’s J.D. degree to such students who meet the Law School’s graduation requirements.”
