Re: Breyer State University- Diploma Mill
Posted by A real J.D. and a real LL.M here on 4/22/08

    Who on earth would go to Breyer State and get a "non Bar" "Law degree" ?

    What is next; Breyer State offers "non Hospital" "Medical degree" ?

    There is no such thing as a non bar Juris Doctor degree.

    The Juris Doctor is for the practice of law and the Doctor of Medicine
    degree is for the practice of medicine.

    The state of bar of california does NOT allow the awarding of the Juris Doctor
    degree unless it qualfies the person to take the General Bar Exam.

    Check the Calif bar website law school rules.

    Instead of paying for Breyer State "juris doctor" degree just print one out
    on your laser printer. It will have same acceptance to employers and government
    agencies.
