Is Provisional Accreditation alright for law school?

Hi I am applying for law schools, and my number one pick is FAMU College of law in orlando, because that way i can live with my parents while in school and not have to pay living expenses.

FAMU college of law has provisional accreditation because they have only been estblished two or three years.

Does that have any effect on my employment or career? do you think they are a good law school?

I would hate to do three years there and then no one would want to hire me.

It should be fine....but it also depends on your plans. Do you plan to stay locally, in Florida and/or the Orlando area? If so, then it should be fine.

What is the status of students who attend or graduate from a law school that does not complete the approval/accreditation process?

Individuals who graduate from a school that is provisionally or fully approved at the time of graduation are graduates of an ABA-approved law school. It does not matter that the school was not approved when the student first enrolled in the school or that the school loses its approval subsequent to an individual's graduation. Students attending schools that are provisionally approved are considered to be students attending an ABA-approved law school.

I wouldn't cheap out on law school.
