For those who haven't been following the story on the ABA Legal Ed Council Proposes To Double Experiential Learning Accreditation Requirement To 12 Credits, this post at TaxProf Blog is a good way to get up to speed. Some commenters are (appropriately) skeptical of the proposal for a number of reasons. Brian Leiter pointedly says:
If the Council does not withdraw this ill-considered and inadequately justified proposal, then it really will be time to seek alternative accreditation agencies for law schools, ones that respect both law students and the academic freedom of law faculties to plan different courses of study.
I especially found Derek Muller's comment informative and recommend that you read it in full.
