I searched but couldn't find a specific thread on this group.  They fly pretty much under the radar.   That's why I was glad to hear this group was forming and think their messaging might hit a note with some of you.  

Home - Find Out Pac

Their video won't imbed here, but the link is pretty reliable.  

Here's a Progress Texas podcast interview that gets into the history, motivation and plans for this group.  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/happy-hour-124-find-out-pac-targets-texas-supreme-courts/id1552998795?i=1000645075600

It's performative.

It means SCOTX governs who can sit for the bar, and that's usually a graduate of an ABA-accredited law school, or one with an exception, an "approved school."

Now, it's whatever school SCOTX approves, which also means ABA-accredited.

They're not going to start independently approving/disapproving law schools.

What might eventually happen, though, is some bunch of right wing loons put together the Acme School of Religious Freedumb and SCOTX might approve its graduates to sit for the bar, but that will only be in Texas, and maybe Floriduh and a couple other places.

But like most of the marginally accredited schools that have been in Texas, the school will probably struggle financially.

I suppose at some deranged point, they might actually disapprove of HLS, YLS, etc. or any school, including UT, that's too woke.  But that's a ways off on the timeline and we'll have a lot bigger problems by then, anyway.

Precisely. It’s no longer just an all-Republican court, as it has been for a couple decades. It’s an all-MAGA court. This is mostly a gesture against the DEI and other perceived liberal initiatives of the American Bar Association. Nothing much more than that.

Q for the Surly law dogs (IANAL, although my brother and ex were both attorneys and then judges so I got doused in it frequently lol) - do you think that law schools like UT will continue to seek ABA accreditation regardless of this? It seems many states including my own (WA) require all applicants to the bar to be graduates of an ABA-accredited law school, and in the current climate I don't see them changing that to accommodate other states who apparently for political reasons are removing the ABA accreditation requirement.

Yes.
