Lovely. Except it glosses over the reciprocity issues, making reciprocity sound much more widespread than it is. Also, the article calls Concord the "first virtual law school." It completely ignores the other nonresidential law schools that have been operating in California for decades. Jeez, you think they could have thrown a bone to Oak Brook, or mentioned some of the disastrous examples, like Kensington, Bernadean, and Southland. Plus, it's premature. I'm looking forward to the actual Bar results for their students, and how they compare to graduates from ABA-, State-, and non-accredited (both residential and correspondence) schools. As a regional paper, why didn't it address Concord's non-role in recruiting and training Florida law students? An interview with someone from that state's Bar Association would have seemed prudent.
Jeez, you think they could have thrown a bone to Oak Brook...... Except that Oak Brook is not "Boca Raton-based Kaplan Higher Education", the growth of which appeared to be the primary focus (i.e. Kaplan based outside South FL = no article). An interview with someone from that state's Bar Association would have seemed prudent. Easier to get an interview with Saddam than with someone who works in the "Taj Mahal".
Too expensive. WAAAAY too expensive for an unaccredited JD. Nosborne, JD (Who ALSO studied from "the same books as a Harvard Law School" student.)
Too expensive. WAAAAY too expensive for an unaccredited JD. Seems like it. Isn't Concord's tuition around three times more than Oak Brook's tuition? (Who ALSO studied from "the same books as a Harvard Law School" student.) Me too. Someone should tell the author that they have these "things" in the books called "cases". Marbury v. Madison, for example, is pretty much the same case whether you're reading it on the campus of HLS or elsewhere.
