Ahhh, law school sites. Hard to believe they would be an exception, but you are correct, they are. That's because they (along with the business schools) are generally quite independent of the rest of the university. They bring in lots of money, so they have more autonomy. I'll bet if you checked university home pages you would find greater accessibility, even if it wasn't full compliance.

I went looking among law school web sites last March. I looked at 16, mostly the well known variety. All but about 3 set text size that totally disregards user preferences, > mostly around 11px. The largest body text used by any of them was CSS small, on at most 3 of them IIRC. >
