Law School Online Memphis TN

Do you have dreams of depositions and cross-examinations dancing in your head, but no time to go to law school full-time? Online law schools might be just the ticket for you.

However, a few words of warning first: Online law schools aren't an exact substitute for the traditional bricks-and-mortar variety. For one thing, online law schools aren't accredited as of yet by the American Bar Association. This means graduates of online law schools will face a tough row to hoe on the way to getting licensed to practice in any state except California (which has different rules). Consider your goals carefully before plunking down any hard-earned cash to an online law school.

1. Decide what your goals are. Do you want to practice law? Or do you simply want the legal education? This alone may determine whether an online course of study is appropriate for you.
   
   
2. If you want to practice law, and you do not live in California, nor do you plan to move there in the near future, then stop right here. Start investigating the traditional law schools, begin saving your money, and sign up for the LSAT (a standardized test most law schools require for admission).
   
   
3. If you've decided to go ahead with an online course, investigate the available options. Concord University is generally agreed to be the first online law school, and it has several courses of study, depending on the student's objectives. Other options are: Abraham Lincoln University Law School; Breyer State (non-bar JurisDoctorate program); and Northwestern California University School of Law, among others.
