Re: Online Law Schools Book
Posted by LD on 1/24/08
For people looking into law, whats great about many of these online juris doctor
programs in this book is that most of them give you the Bachelors degree in Law
after the 2nd year BSL, so in 2-4 years, you can earn a BSL and JD and sit for a
Bar, and you can get into it w/o any previous college,
