Hanshi:
The WCSL Dean is an incredible resource. He is a well accomplished
and sincere individual. I have spoken to him on multiple
occasions. Periodically, I discuss my future plans as well as my
current law study at WCSL. I have received valuable insight with
regard to my legal studies. I believe that you have to follow
someone who not only has a firm grasp of the law but also one who
has completed distance law personally. I wouldn't hesitate to call
WCSL if I were you! Good luck with your studies!
