I just graduated from MASL and it took me four years. I am 67 years
old and I attended MASL because the cost of law school is outrageous
for the EXACT same education you receive from MASL. I have no
intention of practicing law. I just always wanted to earn a law
degree. However, I will match my MASL education with any law school
graduate in the country. I believe I should be able to write for the
bar if I am willing to pay the cost. It would be interesting to see
how I match up to those graduates from other so-called accredited
schools. This is all about money!! and Time! Most people today
cannot afford an accredited law school education and they are working
people so they cannot spend all day long in a classroom. I think
accreditation is a bunch of bunk and I believe that anyone that
completes a law school program should be allowed to write for the bar
if they are willing to pay. My curriculum was not any easier or less
complete than any other law school.
