Accreditation and bar exam performance
Graduates are eligible to take the Alabama Bar Exam pursuant to the authority granted by the Alabama Legislature and the Alabama Supreme Court.[2] The Birmingham School of Law is not accredited by the American Bar Association, nor is the school seeking accreditation. As a result, graduates are generally not allowed to take the bar exam and practice in other states.[3][4]
At the July 2022 sitting of the Alabama bar exam, 20.8% of Birmingham School of Law's first-time takers passed, compared to 78.9% for the state as a whole.[5]
