“Trustees of the Whittier Law School said on Wednesday that it would close down, making it the first fully accredited law school in the country to shut at a time when many law schools are struggling amid steep declines in enrollment and tuition income.”
“The trustees of the school, in Costa Mesa, Calif., said in a statement that they had voted not to enroll new first-year students in the fall but were ‘committed to ensuring that students currently enrolled will have an opportunity to complete their degree in a timely fashion.’ The trustees did not set a date for when the school would close.”
