respectful UK DL law degree programmes are from University of London:

SAS Law School on their website claims some connection with a Southern Eastern
University in the US. Unfortunately, a quick search did not turn up such a
university. Anyone else no of Southern Eastern University?
Fine if you want a worthless piece of paper from a bogus university, run
from a terraced house in London's docklands by a convicted fraudster who
likes to be known as "Dr Daniel Grimaldi" but who operates under least
two other aliases and once tried to sell a bundle of blank "diplomas" to
a journalist from a Sunday newspaper, but not much use otherwise.
When I made enquiries about "Southern Eastern University" (AKA 28
Concorde Drive, London E6) a few years ago on behalf of a friend in the
US who was updating his book on distance learning (Dr John Bear, author
of Bears Guide which I can thoroughly recommend) "Dr" Grimaldi was
serving a prison sentence for interfering with a young (male) "student"
and the authorities were about to interview him in connection with a
pensions scam.
I spoke to SAS at the time, expecting them to be horrified and to
terminate their association instantly, but they were evasive and
strangely defensive. A little research revealed that they had been
involved with at least one other bogus university previously and were in
the habit of making misleading claims about the value and acceptance of
their own "qualifications" in their correspondence and on their web
site.
I have published the details on Usenet several times before, most
recently under the heading 'Scam alert - National Association
