California And Online Law Degree, Can I Get A Law Degree Online?

Q: Is there a law school that offers a degree program via the internet?

A:Could have swore I saw on CNN's Burden Of Proof today that Regents had been approved by the

A: B.

A: to offer the degree via Internet. Could have been that they were asking for approval. I only caught it before they broke for commercial. I'm sorry, I didn't realise you were in the US, It's a bog standard LLB from the University of London, if you wanted to practise in the USA, you would have to sit the US bar exam. ( I think) If you wanted to practise at the bar here, you would have to take the LPC, be accepted at an Inn of Court, do pupillage, and then practise. (Maybe) Apparently, one of the companies in the U.S. that offers bar review courses, Kaplan, is staring an "on-line" law school. HOWEVER, almost every state requires that an applicant for the Bar to be a graduate of an accredited U.S. Law School. I understand that the Kaplan graduate MAY be able to sit for the bar in California, but that's the only state, so far as I've heard, and I'm not even sure about California. I think that what is really lacking in correspondence-type learning is the human interaction. As far as the study of law is concerned, it's much more important to understand the nature and history of the legal controversy than it is to know what the "law" on the subject is. If X sells land to A and then to B and then disappears, what is the "law" governing the rights between A and B? There are a lot of ways to handle this. The way a particular jurisdiction happens to handle the problem is not nearly as important as understanding the many ways that it CAN be handled, and why someone might argue for one rather than another. It's interesting what happens when a professor throws this problem out to a class before they actually look at the statutes or cases. This sort of interaction does take place in the ng setting, and the "chatroom" might also work as well. But "snail mail" doesn't seem to have produced good results, has it? I just heard about

a virtual law school being opened in California which will offer the J.D. law degree by studying over the internet. The key point to this is that the law degree will not be ABA approved so you will only be able to practice in California. This is the same restriction as placed on other California-only law schools in California which are not ABA approved. I can't remember who was doing it, I think some newspaper group like American Lawyer or something. While the interpresonal interaction is beneficial to the study of law for some people, as said in previous messages, I don't think it would be fatal to a successful study of law. I say that as a law student myself.
