Re: NWCU Law
Posted by C on 8/31/08

I did start NWCU in July and couldn't be happier... it is not easy and
I could def. see how alot of people could quit rather quickly... ( I
will not be one of them) ... I plan on using the school for as much as
I can and will most likely take the mock baby bar at the campus twice
as well as the Flemings... and Tim Tylers ... it requires a lot of
reading as expected and the prof are pretty good on answering
questions... also they have chats 4 days a week... I am out of CA so I
will have work to do even after I grad. and pass the bar...

good luck
