So tell me what Texas and Florida have done
8:35
So they've taken slightly different approaches.
8:37
So the top line is that all council-accredited law schools are recognized in those states, Florida, Texas, and all others.
8:44
But what they've done is recognize those schools in different ways.
8:48
So Texas, for example, reconfirmed its authority over recognition a- and accreditation of, of law schools, and they said, "Okay, we care about portability.
8:59
We're not gonna disrupt the system, so we're going to basically grandfather in all of the 197 council-accredited law schools," and it's attached to the order that they issued.
9:10
And so there's really, in the day-to-day, no question and no difference for students that are going to law schools outside Texas or in Texas.
