Question by mercilessronin: is a JD from an online law school in California worthwhile?
I am thinkng of becoming an attorney down the road, but don't have the time for the traditional brick and mortar class room, not to mention the 100k tuition while trying to make ends meet. But I would really rather spend my golden years as an attorney/consultant than a greeter at Wal-Mart. And at 30 years of age, I might be planning too far ahead, but I am at a stage in life trying to decide between either getting a masters degree in taxation or go with the online law degree to eventually get a JD and practice in California. I'll mainly be considering business law and family law consultation, no court room drama litigation stuff.

Hi,
If you are really set on law school, be sure to do some research. Most students that attend online or CA only approved law schools go into private practice. Most larger & more prestigious firms require a degree from an ABA approved law school. Also, bar exam pass rates are pretty low for online and CA only approved schools. However, if you are looking to save money and are interested in a solo practice (be sure to think about malpractice insurance- expensive!), this may be the right path for you. Good Luck!
