Concord to Become Purdue Global Law School

First year bar is really tough, about a 25% pass rate or used to be. I passed it but only because somehow all the information suddenly came to me in an epiphany a couple days before. It does not protect consumers however, only the final bar counts, it does however give notice to students that they better pick up their game.

 

I think the Executive JD has regional accreditation as a graduate degree, so for someone who thinks they will never practice law but still wants a law degree, they can get one that is regionally accredited while the regular JD is not.

 

The idea was that failing to pass the Baby Bar would stop the student from spending more for tuition. That’s been watered down.

 

I’d really like to know how well Concord students are doing on the General Bar Exam but there haven’t been enough applicants attempting it at a time for a stat to be published.

 

As things stand I don’t see Concord applying to the ABA just yet.

 

Essentially an exalted Master of Legal Studies. Is there a less doctorate-like doctorate at any RA institution?

 

Wow! Do you know any place where I could buy a general-purpose epiphany? There are times I could really use one of those.

 

That's what I thought.

That's what I think.

I also feel the Baby Bar puts pressure on unaccredited schools by forcing them to deal with (or educate, or whatever) their students after year 1, and not after graduation.

 

It's not a doctorate. It just calls itself one.

Specifically, it is a first professional degree. That "doctor" business came along about 50 years ago, with no substantive changes to the LLB.

 

Huh. That never occurred to me.

 

Yes and it is free though the accessories have a cost- Become an Ordained Minister Online - Universal Life Church (themonastery.org)

 

You want an epiphany? We’ll step right up, ladies and gentlemen! Just make the check to Johann and he will stitch you up a brand new epiphany in the fabric of your choice!

I went to Concord's website to see if they make any claims about their first time bar pass rate. They do have an FAQ but their answer just refers to the CalBar web site which has no recent data.

I don't think Concord is lying or trying to cover anything up here. If they lack enough Bar applicants for a given year, that's that. But it would be nice to know whether the school has enough success to receive provisional approval.

 

Wikipedia says 42% in February 2021. Not good but the February Bar is notorious for lower pass rates compared to July.

 

No one is ever going to recommend non ABA over an ABA law school. The whole point of non ABA is for people who cannot attend an ABA law school for whatever reason, usually substandard academics, full time work, or geography, to have a chance at the California Bar. I wanted to work full time in a small-town hundreds of miles away from any law school, so Taft worked great for me. I had already tried an ABA law school and didn't like sitting through long lectures, but I could have attended an ABA law school if I wanted to move and give up my job. Sure you can save a few bucks but the odds are maybe 5 to 1 against you eventually passing the bar as opposed to 1 to 5 in favor or more from an ABA school. So if you want to be a lawyer, study for the LSAT, take out the loan, and go to an ABA law school.

 

"Didn't like sitting through long lectures". Yes, exactly, and lectures are far less effective than the reading and writing Taft made you do.

Did you finish the first year at an ABA school?

 

Oh, never mind. Jonlevy took the Baby Bar which wouldn't have been necessary had he finished the first year in an ABA or CalBar program. Passing the Baby Bar is no small accomplishment.

 

Years ago Taft claimed an overall pass rate of 72%. I don't doubt them but I'm not sure exactly what that figure means. My Taft LL.M. was a lot of work, that I can tell you.
