I posted earlier on Law School Transparency's new program in which it will provide a "certification" to law schools that meet the ABA's standards and other "best practices" for disclosure of their graduates' employment data. For criticism of the program, see these posts from Brian Leiter, using the term "shakedown," and Stephen Diamond, describing the program as follows:
And sure enough, now, LST itself has publicly stated it is starting a new “fee for service” product that extorts, I’m sorry, suggests to shop keepers, oops, Deans, that they might need the protection
oh, sorry, “certification” by LST that a law school is meeting the
requirements of ABA Standard 509 regarding disclosures to students about
financial aid and employment outcomes.
