Hi All

I am aware that this site is dedicated to the LLM, but would like to know your opinion on correspondence JD degrees and institutions.

I am aware of all of the issues surrounding correspondence JDs, the ABA guidelines and subsequent Bar eligibility restrictions and have viewed the regulations of almost all of the Bars.

However, despite these obstacles, I simply cannot presently attend a ABA approved law school, due to work commitments.

I am aware that the state of California does allow one to sit the CALBAR after completing correspondence JDs offered by certain law schools.

These law schools include Concord, William Howard Taft, Old Brook, Northwestern and others.

I would just like to know the following:

In your opinion, which are good law schools that offer a correspondence JD that will subsequently allow one to sit the CALBAR?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

The problem with correspondence schools is the possibility that the school may close before you have the chance to graduate. Concord, which is on-line and not correspondence, seems to have a good program with a decent California Bar pass rate.
