Savannah Law School
Verification for this Savannah historical record is current to 2026-08-30. Its closure evidence remains dated and separate from AJMLS; publication awaits records-service and live-page review.
| Status notice for the closed branch record | Savannah was a branch that closed after an approved teach-out; Atlanta's John Marshall remains operating and Council-approved. [1][2][3][4][5] |
|---|
Savannah Law School was the Savannah, Georgia branch of Atlanta's John Marshall Law School. It no longer operates. The ABA approved a teach-out plan for the branch in 2018.[1]
Key Takeaways — Closed Branch Record
- Savannah Law School was a branch of Atlanta's John Marshall Law School and no longer operates.
- Its historical page must remain separate from the current Atlanta school; a redirect would erase the branch's distinct identity.
- An exact final closure date remains blocked until an explicit primary record is obtained, so the draft avoids inventing one.

Identity and Status — Closed Branch Record
Savannah was a branch, not the present Atlanta campus. This historical page should remain independently searchable and should link to the current Atlanta's John Marshall profile without redirecting users away from Savannah's distinct history.
History — Closed Branch Record
AJMLS's institutional timeline says the Savannah branch opened in 2011 and operated for seven years. The ABA archive records submission and approval of a branch teach-out plan in 2018. The exact final date of operations should be added only if a primary source states it explicitly.[1]
Admissions and Student Data — Closed Branch Record
| Closed Branch Record measure | Verified result | Applicable reporting period |
|---|---|---|
| Current admissions status | None. The branch is closed. | Verified through August 30, 2026[1] |
Savannah has no current entering class. Applicant and enrollment data from the former branch must remain attached to the branch and its original reporting year rather than being folded into Atlanta's present admissions profile.
Tuition, Fees, and Scholarships — Closed Branch Record
No current tuition applies. Historical prices must retain their original academic-year label.[4]
There is no current Savannah tuition or scholarship offer. Archived cost data can document the former branch but cannot describe the price or aid policy at Atlanta's John Marshall today.
Employment Outcomes — Closed Branch Record
AJMLS states that 2020 was the last year it reported combined data with the former Savannah branch. Combined historic outcomes must not be presented as current Savannah-only or current Atlanta-only results.
Employment figures for Savannah graduates, if retained, need an explicit branch, class, and measurement date. They must not be displayed as current AJMLS outcomes.
Bar Passage — Closed Branch Record
Any Savannah bar result is historical and branch-specific. The profile should preserve the source cohort instead of transferring the number to the Atlanta school or another John Marshall institution.
Academics and Programs — Closed Branch Record
Savannah offers no present course schedule or degree program. Historical descriptions should identify the catalog year and the former branch relationship to Atlanta's John Marshall.
Student Experience and Location — Closed Branch Record
Savannah, Georgia, is a historical location marker for the closed branch. Current applicants seeking AJMLS information belong on the separate Atlanta profile.
Comparison and Decision Guidance — Closed Branch Record
This page is not an enrollment alternative to AJMLS, UIC, or any other law school. Its comparison function is disambiguation: which institution, branch, period, and regulator record a search result actually describes.
TLS Assessment — Closed Branch Record
TLS retains Savannah as a standalone historical entity because collapsing it into Atlanta would misattribute cohorts and confuse records searches. No current-school recommendation should be inferred.
Closed Branch Record Release and Enrollment Checks — Closed Branch Record
- Treat this page as historical and use past tense.
- Do not redirect it to the current Atlanta school.
- Do not infer a precise closing date from the teach-out approval date.
- Label any combined AJMLS/Savannah outcome by source year and scope.
Frequently Asked Questions — Closed Branch Record
Is Savannah Law School accepting students?
No. The Savannah branch no longer operates.
Is Savannah the same school as current AJMLS?
It was an AJMLS branch, but the closed branch and current Atlanta school require separate profiles and data scopes.
Why is no exact closure day stated?
The available primary material verifies the teach-out and nonoperating status but does not yet support a precise final day; publication remains gated on that point.
Methodology and Sources — Closed Branch Record
The ABA news archive establishes the branch teach-out and noncurrent status. AJMLS institutional history supplies the relationship context; neither source is stretched into an unsupported exact closure date.
