I just got my JD degree from Mid Atlantic School of Law (MASL). I started when I
was 65 years old and I am now 67. The program took me one month shy of four years to
complete, but you can complete it faster. I have no regrets. You will always hear
grumbling from students and graduates of on campus law schools. Those are people who
can afford to go there or mom and dad are paying for their education. They are also
people, at least in the majority, that do not work or have to work so unlike us
working types, they have the time to attend their so-called accredited schools. I
am very very satisified with the education I received from MASL and I can say I
worked very hard to earn their JD. I can't sit for the bar because MASL is an on-
line, non-accredited school but I believe that if I am willing to pay the cost for
the examination, what is wrong with having one more seat filled at the exam? It
would be interesting to see how my results match up with those graduates from
expensive, accredited schools. It is all about money my friend. Education is what
you make of it. If you study hard and take an interest in what you are learning,
you will be just as knowledgeable about the law as anyone else. Good Luck
