Re: Long Distance Legal Researcher
Posted by Yes I am a Real Lawyer on 7/07/06

    I am aware of that, I am aware of every single aspect
    of the California Bar Admissions rule which by the
    way are subject to change very soon.

    I dont know what the heck that has to do with
    my dislike with non-bar J.D. degrees or 1 man
    operation law schools,both of which the State
    Bar is working on eliminating!
