I did the whole JD course last year at Novus. It gave me
exposure to the whole curriculum of law school. I had to write
a couple of papers on each subject and take a multiple choice
test at the end of each. The papers were graded, but I have no
idea what the grading criteria was and there were no comments
from the grader. There were no teachers and of course no human
interaction. All but one of the text books were Gilbert Law
Summaries and the multiple choice test was taken directly from
them. I bought most of my books used on Amazon. I also did a
dissertation, but again, there was no faculty advisor like
there would be in a real university. Of course, I did not have
to defend my dissertation.
The course was exactly what I was looking for, but I have no
intention of practicing law. I did not come away with any real
legal research skills, no ability to write legal papers and no
experience in a court or law office.
