Re: Distance JD - Then "NOT" Taking the Bar
Posted by Don't Want Bar Exam on 9/06/08

    I just want to learn law in my DL eJD program and later become the best darn top
    notch registered California Legal Document Assistant/Mediator/Notary Public. I'll
    let the smart students become lawyers and do all the hard work, they can have all
    the fame and glory. I just want to sell legal documents like divorces, wills,
    LLCs, name changes, power of attorney and small claims documents, . I want to be
    just like LegalZoom. But smaller and I don't need to be a multi-billion dollar
    business, I'll settle for 2 or 3 million, I mean why be greedy.
