The Arizona Summit Law School was a for-profit law school in Phoenix, Arizona, that operated from 2005 to 2018. The law school was known until 2013 as the Phoenix School of Law, and was a part of the InfiLaw System of independent, for-profit law schools, which includes Florida Coastal School of Law and Charlotte School of Law, owned by Sterling Partners.[3][4]
Although the school was accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA) in 2010,[5] it was controversial for its poor bar exam pass rates and unemployability of its students. The school created controversy in 2015, when the dean reportedly paid underprepared students not to take the bar exam.[6][7] In 2016, nearly 95 percent of its students failed to pass the bar exam.[8] The ABA withdrew the school's accreditation effective July 9, 2018,[9] and the school began closing in the fall of that year.[10]
