Re: California School of Law
Posted by John on 7/09/08

    Hi Karen,

    If you are talking about the California School of Law, I am a
    student there, finishing up my first year. It is an online law
    school but is conducted not as a correspondence program but is
    live interactive with a law professor via VoIP (using a headset
    with microphone) in a regular classroom setting. The school
    employs the socratic method where you are called on by the
    professor to brief and analyze cases and discuss the law. If you
    are not going to an ABA school, this is the best alternative.
    Check out the school for yourself, I highly recommend the
    program. I am a UC Berkeley grad and was going to apply to ABA
    schools, but since I am already getting my CPA license and my
    field is accounting, I do not see myself in a law firm and
    decided to pursue a less costly alternative, but with virtually
    the same process (i.e. needing to be in a classroom setting with
    a live professor using the socratic method). Otherwise, I would
    go ABA and pay the money and go full time. The school has solid
    ABA grad professors who actually do a good job at grilling and
    making sure you are on track for understanding and arguing the
    law as well as preparing you for the Cal. bar exam.
