What the archived ABA Now post says resolution 106 did
The Wayback snapshot of the archived ABA Now article titled “Approval of Paralegal Education Programs” states that “106” was “ADOPTED,” and it describes the program actions using formal “RESOLVED” and “FURTHER RESOLVED” wording.
Which paralegal education programs the archived text says were approved
In the “grant approval” portion of the archived resolution summary, the post lists specific programs and locations, including these examples:
- Los Angeles City College (Los Angeles, CA)
- Wilbur Wright College (Chicago, IL)
- Union County College (Cranford, NJ)
- Pioneer Pacific College (Wilsonville and Clackamas, OR)
- National American University (Sioux Falls, SD)
Programs described as reapproved
The archived post describes “reapprove[d]” named programs, including:
- University of Alaska Anchorage, Paralegal Studies Certificate Program (Anchorage, AK)
- University of Arkansas Fort Smith, Legal Assistance/Paralegal Program (Fort Smith, AR)
Programs described as having approval withdrawn
The archived post describes “withdraw” language for named programs, including:
- University of New Orleans, Paralegal Studies Program (New Orleans, LA)
- Chancellor University (fka David N. Myers University), Paralegal Education Program (Cleveland, OH)
Approval term timing tied to the August 2011 House meeting
A separate “FURTHER RESOLVED” clause in the archived post states that the ABA extended the terms of approval until the August 2011 Annual Meeting of the House of Delegates for listed programs, and it includes at least one example program under that extension language: Faulkner University, Legal Studies Program (Montgomery, AL).
Why this kind of archival record mattered for legal education history
For historical readers, this kind of resolution summary matters because it shows how the ABA House framed program recognition through a structured package of actions in one “resolution” document, including approval decisions, reapproval decisions, withdrawals, and time-related term language tied to a specific House meeting.
Limits of using this archive recovery for modern program status
The archived ABA Now entry provides historical recordkeeping for what the resolution summary said in the period covered by the archived post. It does not, by itself, confirm whether the named schools still appear on current ABA program lists.
The ABA maintains current paralegals education information through its American Bar Association Paralegals—Education pages, including the American Bar Association approved paralegal education programs list.
Archived language versus modern program lists a quick comparison
| Topic | What the archived post confirms | What it does not confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution 106 outcome | The archived summary states “106” was “ADOPTED” and uses “RESOLVED” / “FURTHER RESOLVED” framing | How later ABA actions may have changed listing outcomes |
| Program names | The archived excerpt names specific approved, reapproved, and withdrawn programs with locations | Whether current ABA lists still include the same programs |
| Term timing | The archived excerpt states approval terms extended until the August 2011 Annual Meeting of the House of Delegates | Whether the same timing approach appears on modern program lists |
