Atlanta's John Marshall Law School (AJMLS) was founded in 1933 and is accredited by the American Bar Association. AJMLS was named for John Marshall, the fourth chief justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. AJMLS is located in midtown Atlanta, Georgia.
AJMLS offers five J.D. programs: full-time day, part-time day, part-time evening, accelerated/spring start, and a full-time Honors Program in Criminal Justice (led by MacArthur Genius Fellow, Jonathan Rapping). Three LL.M. (Master of Laws) programs are offered: Employment Law (online), LL.M. for the Practice of Law in the United States (Resident), and LL.M. in American Legal Studies (Online).
In late 2011, AJMLS opened a sister school in Savannah, Georgia, named Savannah Law School. In March 2018, press reports stated that the Savannah Law School would shut down at the end of the Spring 2018 semester.
AJMLS was founded in 1933 in Atlanta. In late 2011, AJMLS opened a sister school Savannah Law School in Savannah, Georgia.
In 2017, AJMLS received attention when a student was exposed as a white nationalist organizer who sent a lynching threat to a Black activist in Atlanta. Later that year, the school's accreditor, the American Bar Association (ABA), placed the school on probation regarding ABA admissions rules; as of April 2018, the AJMLS website states that the school is fully ABA accredited.
In March 2018, press reports stated that the Savannah Law School would shut down at the end of the Spring 2018 semester. Class action suits on behalf of Savannah Law School students claims that the Savannah school is being closed to enrich its for-profit owner, Michael Markovitz.
