Re: Executive JD

More | Report Post

I am in a similar situation as you. I work as a paralegal
in a law office. I want to eventually setup my own legal
documents preparation, notary public business and Mediation
practice. I have no desire to take any bar exam ever.

If its just exposure to a law school education that you want, an
executive JD(non-bar)program may give you all the exposure to
the basic law school subjects and provide you all the education
you may want and need. You may want to take some extra electives
like "Wills & Trust", "Property" courses or "Corporations". Or
what ever interests you. Remember an executive JD does not make
you eligible to take a bar exam if you change you mind later
on.

The executive JD programs provide you the opportunity to study
law with the least time restrictions and least amount of stress
possible. To fine "online law schools" just do a "Google" search
and you'll see whats out there. Best of luck to you in your law
studies.
