My brother sent his electrician to an affiliated educational facility to install a new 120 V AC light fixture. The electrician noticed that whoever previously installed several metallic junction boxes terminated the ground conductor under a cable clamp screw on the outside of each junction box. The electrician also noted that the cable clamps are snap in types which he has rarely encountered, but I don't think that is relevant.
Surely this installation must be a violation of the NEC; however, I can't find the section or sections that definitively prohibit such a wiring technique. What sections do you think would address this situation?
