The American Bar Association (ABA) promulgates rules and regulations that apply to all United States law schools with ABA-accreditation and approval. Those rules apply specifically to schools offering programs leading to a J.D. degree.

The changes affected not only J.D. programs, but also study abroad programs offered by ABA member schools.
