Online Law Schools
Sunday March 23, 2008
Earning an online law degree poses several unique challenges. No online law school is accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA); however, forty-nine states require that law school graduates earn a degree accredited by the ABA in order to take the bar exam needed to practice law.
California is the one state that allows graduates from distance learning law schools to sit for their bar, assuming the examinees meet certain requirements. If you live in California, or if you’re willing to relocate, you may be able to become a practicing lawyer with an online law degree.

Your wrong about practicing in a Federal Court from an On-line Law School, not only are you not allowed but you are not allowed to be an ALJ, Magistrate, nothing. The only things the Feds let you do is help prepare the papers in a Soc. Security Hearing. This was due to the “flooding” of online graduates screwing up and blocking prcedure. All this was due to no moot court training, etc.
