Internet Law Degree?

Q: Concord University offers a four year J.D. degree online. Anyone know if this school is for real?

A:I have looked into this. Texas and Mass specifically will not let you sit for the bar exam if you have taken a correspondence law program(read internet). It's part of the ABA scam! The ABA wants to keep control of all law schools. Even if I memorized and understood every case that has been decided since 1800 and have argued my own cases in the Supreme Court, I still can't sit for the bar exam. If you want to practice law in most states you will have to go to an ABA accredited law school. As far as I know, no correspondence schools are accredited by the AB

A: Despite the post by the other gentleman in response to your question, the ABA does not decide who practices law. The states themselves decide who gets to practice law. At least one state, California I believe, does not require people to have graduated from an ABA accredited school. Like all colleges and universities, law schools all seek out accreditation. The ABA is the natural choice for accreditation as it is supposed to be a national bar association which is supposed to represent lawyers nationwide. The public certainly

needs some way of knowing whether a lawyer is qualified to represent them. The only methods we have at the moment are state bar associations which test and exclude candidates who do not meet the minimum qualifications of that state and the various disciplinary boards which attempt to weed out the lawyers who got past the bar exam. Isn't the bar exam a test to see if one is quallified to practice law? In Texas, if one serves on the legislature, they may sit for the bar exam without having to go to law school. Who does the ABA answer too? They don't answer to the public! In the "old days", one can become a lawyer by interning for a lawyer and passing the bar exam.
