that you're not reading what I've written.

Please quote any of my comments in either this thread, or any of the others, in which I said that the ABA licenses attorneys or has the power to revoke licenses. I have, in fact, both in this thread and others, corrected people who have suggested the ABA had that authority.

The ABA is responsible for accreditation of law schools, however. I responded to you, and to one other person in a different thread, who relegated the ABA to the statuts of an impotent advisory committee. It is far from impotent. It makes or breaks law schools - which gives it a lot of power - as a significant gatekeeper to the profession. If the school you attend is not accredited you will have a much more difficullt path (and in 17 states impossible) to sitting for the bar exam, a prerequisite in most states to becoming licensed.
