Re: How to pass the CA Baby bar
Posted by 123 on 10/05/08

    NO. NO correspondence/DL law school can get ABA accreditation. ABA
    accreditation is the only accreditation that means anything in the legal
    world. And, for what I will be doing once I get my law license, it will
    not make any difference.
