The Conference of Chief Justices (CCJ) and Conference of State Court Administrators (COSCA) today announced the appointment of 15 members to a working group focused on law school accreditation. The group operates under the Committee on Legal Education and Admissions Reform (CLEAR), a standing committee of both conferences.

Nebraska Supreme Court Justice Stephanie Stacy is one of the 15 members appointed by CLEAR to examine accreditation frameworks and consider recommendations that promote high-quality legal education and improve access to legal services. The group will also consider how accreditation systems can remain consistent, stable, and nationally uniform while ensuring that state supreme courts—which ultimately license and regulate lawyers—have meaningful input into the standards shaping legal education.
