GCU to build Arizona’s third law school after state Supreme Court approval
- Grand Canyon University has won unanimous approval from the Arizona Supreme Court to open a College of Law, which would become the state's third law school.
- The court's authorization creates a direct pathway for GCU graduates to seek admission to the State Bar of Arizona while the school pursues American Bar Association accreditation.
- The approval comes as Arizona faces a significant attorney shortage, ranking 49th in lawyers per capita, and the court said it hopes the new school will help alleviate it.
