No, MVP, the problem is that California is now failing to regulate schools in any meaningful way. There is a registration requirement for unaccredited law schools, to be sure, but the State Bar really doesn't have much to say about the quality of the education, unlike the situation with its accredited law schools. It isn't that the government has evaluated this school and given it some sort of blessing; it's that the government has abdicated its responsibility to assure that this school meets minimum standards. That's why the burden is on the student to demonstrate that he received an adequate legal education. A degree from an unaccredited law school can't be taken at face value. That's what we're trying to say here.
And remaining unaccredited is itself a red flag for a resident or distance law school because some form of accreditation is reasonably available to both groups. My current school, Taft Law, is not eligible for CalBar or ABA accreditation but it is eligible for, and obtained, DETC accreditation. Why does Cal Southern remain stubbornly in the "unaccredited" column?
And, no, I am not in any way competent enough to teach all areas of the law. No single lawyer is or could be.
