Post: RE: DC Bar and Novus

Posted by Lisa on 1/12/08

Hello.
I will be attending Novus for my BSL. After reading all of
this, I am glad that I did not get into the JD program. I
believe I will go to West Coast when I complete the Novus
BSL.
I have done research on taking the extra 26 credits for the
DC bar and I have to agree that you must have an accredited
degree to transfer or even to gain admission. I may be
wrong. I also live in Florida and they require a non aba
jd to be a practicing attorney for 10 years in another
jurisdiction before they can sit for the bar. So much for
that. At this point in my life, I just do not forsee a
move to California as all of my family is in Florida.
One thing about going to West Coast is a least you can sit
for the baby bar just in case you decide to pick up and
move out west.
There are also other careers such as alternative dispute
resolution and such but I can do that with a BSL and a 40
hour training course here in Florida and become a Florida
Supreme Court Certified Mediator. In August of 2007 they
removed the Florida bar membership requirement. That is an
option that I am seriously contemplating.
Additionally, one could take the non-attorney exam to
practice in front of the US Tax Court. The test is only
given every two years. The next one is given in 2010.
Once you pass the exam you are on equal footing as a lawyer
and a solid legal education, beyond the BSL and into the JD
program at Novus or wherever, with some courses in tax law,
accounting and so on would greatly improve your chances of
passing the exam.
Just some thoughts from someone who is new to all of this
and has done a copious amount of research.
Good luck all of you and I look forward to our future
correspondence.
Lisa
