Who is accountable?

Here is another incident of practicing without a license.
[Counselor overstated qualifications, charges say]
But in this case, I think the Judges, lawyers and the court should be held accountable. This sounds like a severe lack of investigation and follow-up on the parts of many involved.

I would consider malpractice against any defense lawyer that did not investigate and challenge his so-called degree. Turning things against attorneys may send a message about due-diligence.

It does not sound like he made false claims, but his degree is just probably not legitimate or recognized by governing authorities.
