Re: Distance JD - Then Taking the Bar
Posted by already got my ABA degree on 9/06/08
Lawyer, wannabe......you do the work.
Pick one of the 50 states you wanna practice law in.
Go to the state bar website and READ the rules.
If they dont accept non ABA J.D. degree then pick another state
or apply to an ABA law school.
Geez........so simple yet so hard to do, lol
