Unfortunately you don't cite which states accept non-ABA correspondence
JD degrees. CA is one -- as far as I know the only one for a first
time bar exam applicant. Give us the benefit of your superior
knowledge and list the few other states. Frankly -- I think you are
incorrect. Not ONE other state will accept non-ABA distance learning
JD to sit for the bar the first time.

Hey Webster, as long as you bad rap other posters' reading and writing
skills, I guess I should point out that there's an apostrophe in
can't. Also California is capitalized -- I won't go on but your
writing skills are not nearly as perfect as your criticism of others.
You shouldn't hold other people to a higher standard than you hold
yourself. How do you spell hypocrite?

Actually, CA has a lot of non-ABA graduates who practice. My cousin is
a judge in Fresno CA. She graduated from San Joaquin College of Law
(non-ABA). Over 25 percent of practicing lawyers in Central CA are non-
ABA graduates. Well like you said:
"Who in their right mind would

in a particular state? lol"
Well fellow, you certainly proved your point.
PS:
For what it's worth, I graduated from a top tier ABA school last
semester and clerk for our state's appellate court. I think ABA is the
best way to go but not the only way -- at least in CA.
