If you lack a bachelors from a regionally accredited college, many states will not let you take the bar exam, even if you also have a JD from an ABA accredited law school. Many yeshivos that grant a “bachelor’s” don’t have the right accreditation. Law schools will admit someone who is academically qualified and able to pay tuition (especially if they will pay full tuition) even though there is something about them that would keep them from being licensed to practice law (lack of an accredited bachelors is one possible problem, a criminal record is another). For an institution in Israel, they will probably ask if it has been accredited by the Ministry of Education as a regular degree-granting college.
