Law Schools to Watch Out For!

Students need to be very careful where they spend their hard earned money.

Three schools merit special attention.

They are the New College of Law in California. To read about their problems read this story about their loss of accreditation.

Another school to watch out for is Ave Maria Law School in Michigan. The school is planning to move to Florida and a big brew-ha-ha has erupted.

The final school featured here is American Justice School of Law in Paducah, Kentucky. After a major league fraud scandal the school has been transfered to new owners. I would recommend to wait and see what happens with this school before committing to it. Read an article from Andrew Wolfson on the situtation. It's on better ground now but still might not be on the firm ground they need for long term success. For instance, the school's website is down as I write.

Online Law Schools- Myth and Reality-

Check out this blog posting about online law schools.

It definetly seems that opinions are changing about online law schools - and changing for the better!

I've been helping one of my students investigate online law schools. The student has been very pleased with his interactions with Abraham Lincoln Law School (an online law school based in California). I'm happy to see that more affordable options to expensive, old school black shoe schools are appearing.

If you've had any experiences with Abraham Lincoln Law School or Kaplan, please share them with us!
