So far only the ABA Journal has covered this story. Will be interesting to see the reaction of the MSM since Obama himself called for a possible war crimes trial (and I don’t think he meant prosecuting Al Qaeda).

I ran into this "unaccredited degree" issue with an employee and we flat had to tell him he could not use the Ph.D. title he received from that school. If in fact this law school is unaccredited per the Wikipedia entry, then for ABA standards, it is not an official law school and therefore cannot provide an official degree. Per a College Resource Guide:

Not all law schools have been accredited by the American Bar Association. In some states, graduates of these institutions may take the bar exam and be admitted; however, employers tend to be wary of these graduates. In many states, a degree from an unaccredited law school does not enable the graduate to even sit for the bar exam. You are urged to avoid enrolling at an unaccredited law school, and, if you do consider enrolling at such an institution, you must investigate it thoroughly, consider the implications of doing so, and find out why it has not been accredited by the ABA.

The ABA Journal and by association, the ABA does itself a huge disservice if they are seen as in any way supporting this mockery.
