Re: Distance JD - Then Taking the Bar
Posted by Your State Bar and only your State Bar has the rules on 9/05/08
Who in their right mind would come here to this site
and rely on someone's story or hearsay information
about bar admission in a particular state? lol
come on, that is the issue at hand.
More questions on this site have to do with backdoor,
non-traditional,cut the corner here, I heard this,
I heard that, way of getting bar admission.
Every state has a specific set of bar admission rules !
Those admission rules are almost always available on
the state bar website and they absolutely are reliable
as opposed to all of the short cut zany
ideas posted here or from outdated other bar admission
sources in other publications on how to beat the ABA J.D.
route.
If you cant read and understand any particular state's
rules for bar admission then your reading level will not
be sufficient to graduate from law school, let alone pass
any state bar exam.
Most states require ABA J.D. for bar admission.
A few states have LIMITED exceptions. A handful of states
will accept non ABA J.D. and just a couple, I can count on
one hand will even accept non ABA correspondence J.D. degree.
Unless you plan on practicing in California, which has
3 levels of law schools, ABA, State Bar accredited and
unaccredited........the best route is ABA J.D. degree.
There is no easy way to be a lawyer.......no short cut
to a good legal education......no short cut to being eligible
to take the state bar exam.
Even out of the "thousands" that attend california unaccredited
law schools only a few dozen pass the bar exam each time the
exam is held. Every year thousands of law students attend California
unaccredited law schools, there are dozens and dozens of them in
California and only a handful pass the exam.
