Re: California School of Law
Posted by FARLS on 7/11/08

    The problem with any of these schools is you don't know how rigorous they
    really are until you start to see the stats out the other end. I think it
    helps that this school (as I recall) has licensed california attorneys on
    staff. Though that is certainly a plus, it's no guarantee of anything.

    For instance, Silicon Valley School of Law, a brick and mortar non-ABA school
    in San Jose, charges students around $8000/yr and has all licensed attorneys
    teaching courses. In spite of that to my knowledge they've never had any
    students pass the baby bar in at least 2 years of trying. Part of it I think
    is their inability to set expectations and stick to them. A good school will
    do some sort of reasonable screening and give students enough feedback to know
    whether or not they should take the baby bar and continue.

    Schools like Taft, ALU, and C'cord set and maintain those standards. Having
    remote lectures is great, but if they admit anyone and let anyone take the
    baby bar, then I'd question their motives.
