Info
The Arizona Summit Law School, founded in 2005 and known until 2013 as the Phoenix School of Law, is a for-profit law school located in Phoenix, Arizona. SummitLaw is part of the InfiLaw System of independent, for-profit law schools, which includes Florida Coastal School of Law and Charlotte School of Law, owned by Sterling Partners. Although the school was approved by the American Bar Association (ABA) in 2010, the ABA announced in May 2018 that it planned to rescind the school's approval for failure to comply with ABA standards regarding admissions practices, academic standards, and support and bar passage. This follows a March 2017 decision by the ABA to place the school on probation after the school's bar passage rate dropped to 25% in July 2016.The ABA withdrew the school's accreditation effective July 9, 2018, however the school has appealed the decision and the ABA is expected to decide the appeal by mid-October. The Arizona Supreme Court announced on June 14 that current graduates are still eligible to take the state's bar exam but, unless the ABA reinstates accreditation, future graduates will be ineligible to take the exam.The school announced that it would not accept an incoming class for Fall 2018. In August 2018, the school was forced out of its rented space in the Phelps Dodge Tower after failing to pay rent.
