Re: Long Distance Legal Researcher
Posted by Joel on 7/06/06


    1. You may have a lot more options than you think first of
    all you may want to check out the admission requirements for
    your home state if I understand the information correctly on
    the Michigan’s State Bar web site you may qualify to sit for
    their bar with a DL JD from California. See: michbar.org

    2. Additionally you do not have to be a lawyer in order to
    be a Register Patent Agent, check out the USPTO’s web site
    under FAQ’s for instructions on how to apply. See: uspto.gov

    3. I will be studying at North Western California School of
    Law in the fall I think it is a great school it has been
    around for about 30 years I believe and it offers an
    interactive approach to study via distance learning. West
    Coast School of Law is the most economical it is less
    expensive than North Western California School of Law;
    however, it is not as interactive you really have to be a
    disciplined self starter because you will go it alone.
