Two observations made by the committee were that the institution lacked the financial means to operate and the academic profiles of its students were subpar compared to other law schools in Puerto Rico.
[5] Consequentially, the Supreme Court released a second resolution indicating concern that Hostos Law School lacked "budgetary soundness", had difficulties in recluting students who were able to pass the bar examination post-graduation, as well as not having obtained the provisional accreditation from ABA.
"[9] On a particular vote made by the Associate Justice Jaime Fuster mentioned that Hostos had an "irreparable medullar problem" in achieving its goals.
Fuster added the results for the law school entrance exam, the Graduate Studies Admissions Test (PAEG, for Prueba de Admisión a Estudios Graduados).
[22] Finally, the resolution stated that Hostos had ninety days to submit a proposed plan to offer a course for all those who graduated from September 1999, when it lost its original accreditation, enabling them to take the bar exams.
In the Fall of 2016, the Municipality of Mayagüez and the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico signed a first of two agreements to reopen the Hostos Law School.
The groups accorded that the Interamerican University would be able to incorporate the use of the name of Hostos to offer continuing education for lawyers, a Master's in law and a bachelor's in criminal justice.
The university would offer an online database as a library to students and would request accreditation so that it would operate as an extension of the Law Faculty and their San Germán campus.
By 1848, the municipal prison building was built which gave its name to the Barrio where today the Eugenio María de Hostos School of Law was located.
[29] The architectural style of the building is mostly modernist, with elegant, although reserved, neoclassical accents including its access facade that is a Doric order of columns.
The property was restored and rehabilitated to house the law school by the Mayagüez Municipal Government during the years 1997 to 1999, under the mayoralty José Guillermo Rodríguez.
Acevedo Vilá highlighted the social work offered by Hostos through its legal aid clinic and announced an annual $1.5 million allocation for the building of the library for the next five years, until 2010, creating between 25 and 30 jobs.
[31] In 2014, after Hostos had its accreditation rescinded for the final time, the mayor Guillermo Rodríguez requested that the building be returned to the municipality since it had been abandoned and had become a "vandal den.
[35] The clinic will also provide aid to victims of crimes ranging from arsony to discrimantion based on intellectial disability, as well as coordinate workshops with other government agencies.
The Hostos Law School started off in 1993 with $12,144 of total assets, this reached an all-time high in 2011 of $11,199,337, a year after it got its accreditation rescinded by the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico.
Started in 2003 by invitation of Dr. Daniel Nina to his peers to discuss a 1993 essay of the same name by the founding dean Dr. Carlos Rivera Lugo.
The name is a play on the anti-drug campaign slogan Ni una vida más para las drogas ("Not one more life for drugs).
