I’m not seeing that in my reading of the proposed standards. The phrase “throughout the course of the students’ studies” seems to refer to the entire course of study through law school, not to individual courses. The examples of internal assessment measures given in the interpretation seem to be pretty typical law school stuff.

Maybe the word “variety” might produce the need for changes at some schools. It is hard to tell from the interpretations what that means. Most law schools already employ a “variety” if you compare final exams with measures used in skills classes and seminar classes (final papers, etc.).

Your quoted portion appears to have been adapted from standards used by colleges of pharmacy. Maybe the phrase has a specific meaning in that field that leads to a conclusion that law schools would have to drastically change their internal assessment methods.

The two aspects that stood out to me as potentially big changes were the possible use of the words “require” and “every” in 302(c) and the use of external assessment measures beyond bar passage (job placement, etc.).
