If one believes ABA, the two-year pass rate for graduates of accredited law schools now approximates 90%. Of course, this is only after a few years of attempts to actually enforce standards, which followed immediately on the heels of the Department of Education putting the fear of God into ABA that it might be losing its "accreditation" function. Also, the shuttering of some notorious mooncalf mills has undeniably contributed to the rising pass rate statistics.

Unfortunately, unqualified and unemployable graduates who were saddled with six-figure debts during the effectively standardless years will not easily be getting their lives back.
On the bright side, however, they can now qualify for debt relief if they can manage to land jobs with the ABA, that stellar "public interest" organization.
