[edit] Court case
There is a famous court case involving SNEAL promising it would be accredited by a certain date to keep students and the students suing. Does anyone object to its addition if I can find the cite? Mbisanz 01:55, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
An anon. IP removed the case from the article without comment. I've restored it as it is a sourced fact related to accreditation, which is covered in the article. Mbisanz (talk) 09:03, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rodi v. SNESL
- In 2003 Joseph Rodi sued the Southern New England School of Law alleging fraud and violations of consumer protection. In 1997, Rodi had applied to SNESL when it was attempting to become provisionally accredited by the ABA on the basis of its assurance that it was "high confident" of receiving the accreditation [1]. When it was denied accreditation in 1997, Rodi considered transferring. However, upon the assurance of the then acting law dean David M. Prentiss that "no cause for pessimism" that SNESL would be accredited by Rodi's graduation date, he did not transfer. In 1999, the ABA again denied accreditation and SNESL did not appeal the decision to another ABA-body. Rather it terminated half its faculty, further straying from ABA guideliness [2]. Rodi graduated in 2000 and was unable to sit for the New Jersey bar as a result of the lack of accredtitation. SNESL has alleged that it did notify students that it was not accredited and that it did not lead Rodi to believe it would be accredited by a certain date. As of November 2007, no further proceedings have taken place and could be prevented by a three year statute of limitations under Massachusetts law [1]
