    I am interested in studying English Common Law for self enrichment. Does anyone know if there are any DL schools that offer this track and what recommendations might you have?

    I cannot add anything to what the others have suggested except to bring up some books you might be interested in...

    The University of Chicago Press reprinted a four volume set of William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Law of England . This is a reproduction of the actual pages which appeared in the original. The books are interesting and not terribly difficult to read (not something most of us would get through in a night though).

    For a good introduction to what a first year US law student learns, you might read Law 101 by Feinman. This is actually written for anyone. If you enjoy Court TV this is a very interesting book. The book gives the reader an idea of how English Common Law principles have evolved in the US.

    Thanks all, I was able to find both the Blackstone book (hard cover) and the Law 101 book at Wal-Mart on-line for $200.00 including shipping.
