Since 1933 John Marshall Law School in Atlanta Georgia had provided a high quality legal education, but could do so only for students taking the state of Georgia bar exam. In 1987 the Georgia Supreme Court changed the procedures requiring that all Georgia Law Schools obtain ABA accreditation, which of course would expand the reach and value of John Marshall's educational expertise.
As part of this process, the need to have an effective Student Information System became evident. Atlanta's John Marshall Law School turned to EDC Technology as its partner. EDC has been in the higher education technology business since 1964, assisting schools with specialized goals and needs. While the needs presented by John Marshall were unique to Law Schools, the ability to satisfactorily meet these challenges was neither a new concept nor process for EDC to accomplish. Working with the Deans and administrative staff, EDC created a special "law school system" to meet those needs. This includes a unique ability to up-load the most commonly used on-line law school application directly into the Student Records area and input screens designed specifically for Law Schools. A variety of other tools and procedures dedicated to the management of day-to-day collection, storage, retrieval and reporting of necessary pertinent Law School data are included.
In February 2005, Atlanta's John Marshall Law School became provisionally approved by the ABA and since then has enjoyed unprecedented growth, becoming a major institution of legal education in the Southeast.
