Re: Online Law Schools Book
Posted by LD on 1/24/08
Not much, but they seem to have a good program, but the book details all the
programs. you are going to have to choose if you want the ca route or go dc.
In 2-3 years, more aba programs will probably open online to give you more of
a chance to get all the courses for dc online. but the online law schools
book has many aba online llm programs, some I never new had online programs.
Worse case, and you dont have to take hte baby bar and go 4 years, is you do a
2-3 year exec jd from 1 of the schools, or novus, and go to an in person aba
llm to get the dc courses, and sit for dc w/o the baby bar, and w/o the 4 year
JD. you only need any non aba jd for DC and not the 4 year bar programs. On 1/20/08, Darren wrote:
