In the US at least, it's not the degree that makes you a lawyer. And I'm
not familiar with any bar that gives out honorary admissions.

In the Anglo-American educational tradition, typically after a very
flowery speech, a degree is bestowed upon the individual "honoris
causa". See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cum_laude

It distinguishes "literature written in the Turkish language" from
"literature written in the country of Turkey" from "literature written
by Turks", all of which are valid interpretations of the phrase
"Turkish literature".

You were warned repeatedly by numerous people over a long period of time. You chose to ignore all warnings.

Congrats to Jimbo, but these honorary degrees remind me of Euclid's famous words-"There is no royal path to education". Maybe this is the answer?

It's generally a recognition of some achievement outside of a university,
usually for people who have achieved celebrity in some way. It's a nice
recognition of some achievement for the recipient, but it's also nice for
the university, which has another celebrity to add to its "list of celebrity
alumni."

So when talking about legal matters he will have to say IAALBOAHL?
This seems an interesting question. User:Hugh Minnoch wrote an article
that has just been deleted:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Floor_Two%2C_M…
You will see that he thought it all a bit of fun and I tried to put him
straight. I put this on his talk page:-
"Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you come to appreciate what it is all
about. You might think that your article on a floor of one Hall at
Exeter University is a bit of fun, but it really just messes up a good
project. I fought to keep really good separate articles on the Halls at
Exeter, although I have no connection with the place. They were merged
into a single article. Halls of Residence are important and should be in
wikipedia. Your bit of fun really does not help. Try to help the
project. You might find it is worthwhile. --Bduke 12:46, 21 April 2006
(UTC)"
Seems civil enough to me. He blanked his talk pages within minutes.
He then put the contents of the deleted page on his user page.
Last night I noticed that he had added two barnstars to his user page
that claim they have been presented to him by me, although using my full
name which is on my user page and not my username. I added this to his
user paqe:-
"You break the most important rule on Wikipedia - Don't be a dick.
--Bduke 12:01, 24 April 2006 (UTC)"
which is perhaps less civil. He responded by:-
"Brian my love grows for you with each encounter. Just tell me you'll be
mine!"
and added many more barnstars to his user page, again largely claiming
to come from me.
Now clearly Huck is a dick, but do either the barnstars or saving a
deleted article on his user page count as vandalism? It is clearly an
attack on me as if people see I have awarded barnstars to this dickhead,
they will likely think I am a dickhead.
I intend to leave him alone from now on, but I wondered what people
think about this and whether any admin feels anything should be done
about Hugh.
Cheers, Brian [[User:Bduke]]

I'm _certain_ the building owner can be sued.
The question is, can the plaintiff win? That's a completely different
question... and since IANAL I wouldn't even try to guess.

No, the real reason he isn't trying to guess is because he has good
sense. You don't see any lawyers trying to guess, do you?
