Re: Novus & Breyer State University Law School
Posted by DP on 6/04/08

    Attention Ed:

    A non-bar JD will not allow you to do everything else except represent clients
    in court. A non-bar JD degree does not give you the right to practice law or
    enable you to give legal advice.

    So what can you do with or how does a non-bar JD degree help you do?

    Your law study in the non-bar JD program will give you legal knowledge and
    training. The legal knowledge and training recieved through the non-bar JD
    program may help to maybe do the following quasi-law type jobs.

    Contract analyst
    Mediator
    Legal document preparer
    Tax Preparer
    Tax Enrolled Agent(IRS-US tax court)
    Patent Angent(patent court)
    Notary public
    SS Disability Advocate
    Advanced Paralegal
    Human Resourses representative
    Employmeent benefits representative
    Government social benefits worker
    Legal Expert

    The above decribed jobs are really quasi-law type areas where you can work
    legally help people with your legal training obtained via a non-bar JD, these
    are just a few.

    But you cannot practice law or give legal advice as such. However within the
    the above decribed areas you can help your client or employer meet his/her
    needs. You just have to remember it is a very fine line and you have to be
    careful. Note some of the above areas will allow you lots of leeway in how and
    what you communicate with the client.
