Good going Michael. I am 67 years old and I just completed the MASL
program. It took me four years. I remember when lawyers were a dime
a dozen. However, you will see that in a few more years, if not
sooner, more lawyers will be needed because such a large portion of
the people in this country are no longer reluctant to engage in
litigation and there are not enough lawyers to handlle all of the
potential litigants. I believe that MASL and schools like it will
eventually become accredited because most of the population works and
cannot take the time to attend on campus programs. They also cannot
afford the exhorbitant cost of a law school education just to claim
that they got their degree from an accredited school. It's all about
money my friend.
