Finally a Law School Scandal That Does Not Implicate the ABA as an Accomplice

The ABAJ is reporting that Douglas Leman, a former controller who worked at New England School of Law for 17 years, has pleaded guilty to charges alleging he embezzled $173,000 from the school between September 2008 and March 2011 in part by giving students breaks on tuition. According to the DOJ press release, Leman faces up to 10 years in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release and a $356,213.42 fine. He will also be required to make full restitution in the approximate amount of $173,106. [JH]
