Initial Charge
The Task Force will study the key challenges facing the delivery of legal services and the
provision of legal education in the United States, such as:
* The impact of economic trends on the rising cost of legal education and declining
legal employment prospects
* Innovations, methods and advocacy efforts by state and local bar associations and
other groups to reduce the cost of legal education, improve practical skills training,
match new lawyers with job opportunities, and provide student loan debt relief
* The impact of structural changes in law practice to the nature of lawyer work and the
number and distribution of attorneys in the bar
The Task Force will make recommendations on how the ABA and the legal profession
can best address these issues. 1
1 The ABA Section of Legal Education & Admissions to the Bar Council and its Accreditation Committee
are recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) as the national accrediting agency for programs
leading to the J.D. In this function, they are separate and independent of the ABA, as required by DOE
regulations. Consequently, the Task Force may only make recommendations to the ABA Section of Legal
Education & Admissions to the Bar Council and its Accreditation Committee.
