Massachusetts now requires that all bar applicants have a high school degree, so in 1921 Portia founder Arthur MacLean establishes a summer school where pupils can earn their GED in just nine weeks. That's a tough one, jlallen....now you gotta have a high school diploma to be a lawyer. But you can get a GED. I betcha most of those New Hampshire judges gotta high school diploma even if they are just "rubber stamp" as you said.

In 1969, Portia Law School–now called New England School of Law–achieved its goal of earning accreditation from the American Bar Association. As the school strengthened its and resources, it attracted more students. Enrollment grew from 154 in 1968 to more than a thousand in 1980. *WOW, Portia finally gets accreditation but it's still a fourth tier law school, a joke in the legal community...well, it got provisional accreditation which is almost as good.*
