The ABA I think actually requires physical attendance, though not for a student’s health and well being. They’re one of the prime reasons why a legal education is so obscenely expensive.

I have never heard of an online law school. My sister is getting her bachelor’s degree online but is planning to go to graduate school in a brick-and-mortar school. You can get masters degrees at Stevens online, but you have to take exactly what they offer because most of the classes aren’t online. I think that is the case with most online programs, as Stevens is consider a leader in online education. For something beyond a masters, I would think that you would have to actually go someplace physically.

Hi Aimee!

What’s the name of the school? From what I know the ABA frowns on distance learning and online courses, so it’s unusual to see an accredited school offering this kind of curriculum.

You can do it online and become a California lawyer. The school is accredited in California. You might be able to practice in your state, depending on where you live. At the very least you’d have an advanced degree, and you’d be a California lawyer.

Linc, you should leverage your backgrounds in computer science and in law enforcement by getting the Advanced Certificate in Security Management and Forensics here at Stevens. It consists of four classes and you can take them online. That should be good for a job transfer to computer crimes. http://webcampus.stevens.edu

I’d settle for the love of a good woman.

Dude, that’s too bad. Maybe you could claim to invent something really cool, like teh Intertubes, and make millions of dollars selling books about how to improve the planet all the while having a carbon footprint the size of Texas!
