Massachusetts School of Law Summary
The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.
The Massachusetts School of Law is a law school located in Andover, Massachusetts. The Massachusetts School of Law is now fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).In 1990, the Massachusetts Board of Regents of Higher Education authorized MSL to grant the Juris Doctor degree. In 1994, the Massachusetts School of Law filed a lawsuit alleging that ABA accreditation practices constituted antitrust violations.As a result of its actions the Department of Justice filed a compaint against the ABA for antitrust violations as well. That lawsuit resulted in a consent judgment between the ABA and the United States Department of Justice in which the ABA agreed to reform its accreditation process and eliminate some of its law school accreditation standards. With tuition relatively low by law school standards — less than half the average tuition of New England law schools — many of its graduates go into public service, including serving in the state legislatures in New England.
