Re: DC Bar, Novus & Breyer State University Law School
Posted by WrongAgainEd on 6/03/08

    I disagree. You claim that with a non-bar JD "This degree lets you do
    everything except litigate in a courtroom." That's the kind of wrong-
    headedness that gets people into trouble, Ed.

    An attorney can represent another person. A non-Bar JD CANNOT REPRESENT
    ANOTHER PERSON EVEN IF THAT REPRESENTATION TAKES PLACE OUTSIDE A COURTROOM!!
    Can not give legal advice. Cannot represent a corporation, even if that
    corporation is owned by the person.

    Just because you read the same books and work hard and get good grades
    doesn't mean squat. Unless you've attended a "real" law school you have
    nothing to gage it with. People who went to DL schools but only went to high
    school thought it was hard too. And then they thought the bar was hard. The
    first, second, third... you get the idea.

    This is why I think it needs a different name. EJD or something. It's not a
    law degree. Period.
