(a) Upon the request of any accredited law school, the Director of the Government Publishing Office must designate the library of that law school as a depository library.

(b) For purposes of this section, the term “accredited law school” means any law school which is accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association approved by the Commissioner of Education for that purpose or accredited by the highest appellate court of the State in which the law school is located.
