The 2008 visit was what the ABA calls a sabbatical visit, something it does every seven years for fully-accredited law schools. The ABA has posted the schedule here. http://www.abanet.org/legaled/accreditation/sitevisit/acvisits.html The 2008 visit documents that Hastings was continuously accredited for not less than the preceding seven years. Thanks for finding this.

http://www.uchastings.edu/site_files/newsletter/eNewsletterNov.html Hastings' website said "The ABA will visit Hastings early in 2008 as part of the accreditation process, and we welcome your thoughts on curriculum, faculty, student body, support services, alumni and community relations, and any other subjects related to the school."

@345: Try talking to someone who works in the legal education and approval department, and not someone who works for the sales department. There are undoubtedly many fine Stacys (Stacies?) at the ABA, but not one is in the department that approves law schools.

Um, I called the number and Stacy says you’re a liar.

@336 and 343: I called the number that 336 gave, posed my question, was transferred to the legal education and approval department. The woman who answered assured me that (1) UC-Hastings is approved by the ABA, and (2) no one named Stacy works in that department.

I didn’t know who to believe, so I called the numbers laid out above. Hastings is indeed NOT ABA accredited. Check for yourself by calling the ABA. I’m pretty surprised.

To the stupid morons who keep insisting that Hastings lost its ABA accreditation, Hastings has never lost its ABA accreditation, EVER! Hastings also has the number 2 Moot Court ABA National Appellate Advocacy Team in the country. All you have to do is a simple Google search. The people who are coming on this site spreading this ridiculous rumor are probably people who couldn’t get accepted into Hastings in the first place.
Even in this tough economy, Hastings grads are still getting big law jobs. The 3Ls I know are not stressed at all. They’re sitting on some very lucrative job offers.

Looks to me like the people saying it is accredited are pointing to a name and a telephone number at the ABA, just like the people who say it isn’t accredited. The difference is that the people who say it is accredited have also given us links to two published ABA sites that say Hastings is accredited. The people who say it isn’t accredited haven’t found a single published source so far. Case very closed.

So to summarize: The people saying Hastings isn’t accredited are encouraging you to call and verify for yourself. The trolls saying Hastings is accredited want you to take it on faith. Which is more consistent with somebody telling you the truth?
Case closed.
