What would the consequences be, if any, for graduates of one of these schools who have already passed the bar? asking for a friend.

---

None. I don't think it would even affect an applicant to a bar. As long as it met the criteria at the time the student graduated. Anything else would be patently unfair.

No Southern. List not legit.

But let's face it, you graduate from a school that lost its mf accreditation looks pretty terrible

Yep. In this market unless you're taking over the family's practice or just love the law, anything other than top-tier or the best state school (with in-state tuition) seems a waste.

Less lawyers are a good thing.

It would likely only marginally affect your outlook, as pretty much all of those schools are widely considered quite terrible (although, I thought Valparaiso was considered somewhat well regarded). It's not like anyone looking to hire a Cooley or Texas Southern grad, is going to suddenly have second thoughts because the school subsequently shut down.

I knew Cooley was going to be on this list. They actually put out some law school "rankings" a few years ago that magically had them ranked #1.
