Wiki self promotion? Is Concord Law the only school with the Executive JD?

Yes, if one takes a bar-qualifying JD, one can re-take the Bar Exam if one failed on the first try. Likewise, if one decided not to take the Bar exam immediately out of law school, one can always choose to take the Bar exam at a later date. On the other hand, with a non-Bar JD, one can never take the Bar exam, unless one goes back and gets a Bar-qualifying JD/LlB or apprentices onesself out to a lawyer/judge (aka "reads the law") or tries the JD to LlM parlay, or ... .

 

I get the "taking the bar exam" advantage of a JD, but my question is about utility other than that. I am assuming, of course, that there are law school graduates who never pass, or never take, the bar exam. If such graduates exist, is the utilty of thier bar-qualifying JD significantly different than the utility of a non-bar JD?

If it turns out that the utililty is the same, then what is the big stink about non-bar law degrees? I've said it before that I think they should probably be re-named, but other than that they seem pretty interesting to me.

 

Minnesota? Oh, well, I knew it was SOMEWHERE in the Frozen North. Montana, maybe, or Manitoba or Moosejaw.

Wouldn't you LOVE to be admitted in Yellowknife? I think the Law Society of the Northwest Territories comprises a hundred or so "barristors and solicitors". 'Course, no one actually LIVES there...

Re: UoL...I don't even know whether I passed my first set of exams! No naches there, yet, anyway!

 

If I remember correctly, you said "Minnesota or Michigan". You got it right, counselor.

 

Thanks for the thumbs up, Randy.

I guess I'm secure in that my qualifications are passable, but not all that great in the entire scheme of things. So that way, I don't have to worry about having the brightest plumage on this forum, because I know I don't.

My life gives me perspective: my wife outduels me in most debates, my oldest child is starting top pick up the skill as well. (speaking of children, number six (you read that right) is on the way! When your part time job is wiping butts, it also gives perspective). And when I start thinking I'm the "It Boy"--it happens--all I have to do is look at my small home office (where I'm currently wasting time clattering away here, I better actually do some work soon) and then walk down the street to the local college. It ain't exactly Harvard: a few brick buildings, but not an ivy-covered wall or 1400 SAT student in sight. Then again, I'm not yet knowledgeable enough to handle one of those prodigies.

Yep, he missed that one, but that's a little-known fact. Wouldn't have known that UConn did a DL LLM unless Osborne had told me some time back.

 

There are three lawyers involved in it, whadya expect?

 

Perhaps, but you opened the door by touting your IMPRESSIVE credentials (the all caps are a direct quote). So why, when pressed about them, do you demur and play coy?

If you don't reveal your IMPRESSIVE credentials, I have designs on discovering your identity and setting up a little stand in front of your real estate agency and selling non-bar JDs to all your agents, your secretary, and the guy who cleans the toilets with that little brush.

 

The Insurance Law Center is thrilled to announce the graduation of a second distance learning graduate from the Insurance Law LL.M. program, Ron Knoll.

THATS 2 GRADUATES that finished the program via distance learning VIDEO! sounds like a test LL.M program to me at the University of Conn.

 

Is your math correct? I get the impression that this thread involves two lawyers and someone who went to law schools and never passed the bar.

 

So I guess they don't have a DL LLM program, then. You don't have a program until JDLLM says you have one, by goodness.

 

Actually, 1 1/2 lawyers. I'm part-time at the college, part-time at law. I'm just half a shark. I may have cleared the bar hurdle, but Osborne's the only true lawyer here, so far as I know.

 

JDLLM:

When are you going to fill in the blanks on your IMPRESSIVE credentials? (the all caps, if I failed to remind you, are a direct quote from your post)

I told you my so-so credentials. I want to hear about your IMPRESSIVE ones (by the way, did I tell you that you put "impressive" in all caps in your earlier post?)

Speak soon, or abandon all credibility.

 

Fauss, it doesnt matter.

I have a post J.D. degree, that is to say a Law Degree, the Master of Laws from an ABA Law School and as far as law degrees go the LL.M degree is higher then my J.D. degree and my J.D. degree is Bar qualifying in California so I have all the credibility I need.

I live and work in California and my passion is the State Bar regulations of law schools and the cleaning up of both correspondence and residential unaccredited law schools
that are giving unaccredited law schools a bad reputation.

All my future discussions will be focused on this subject!

 

Anybody willing to place a wager on it?

Why won't you share your credentials with L.F. You implied that you would if he shared his. He held up HIS end of the bargain. I believe this, again, is a direct shot on your credibilitiy.

 

I knew it! Never passed the bar.

 

This has been obvious since day one. I STILL have a strong hunch that he was a student at Saratoga who got convinced to take a non-bar JD there so that he could use the parlay ABA LLM strategy. Doesn't really matter though.

 

Not that it really matters, but you're right, folks, it's obvious he's got something to hide.

He's a fraud.

My nine year old would nail that one down. For that matter, so would the three year old. Any time someone blows themselves up that big, tells you how impressive they are, demands--and I mean demands!--to get your credentials, but then gives you only a tiny peek at theirs and then is as evasive as an arab street merchant (no, I will not apologize for the cultural reference, it's true) when pressed, you know he's a fraud.

Go sell the snake oil elsewhere, JDLLM. Until you're willing to give the us the same courtesy you flat threw a fit to get from us, we're done with you. What an screaming hypocrite!

Last chance.

 

Jesus people I told you before I AM NOT A FORMER SARATOGA UNIVERSITY STUDENT.

I went to Lincoln Law School in San Jose, a state bar accredited law school that has been around since 1926 and due to a family problem left and then did 2 SEMESTERS at NWCU and obtained the Juris Doctor degree.

My J.D. degree was bar qualifying in the State of California!!!

Then I was accepted at Golden Gate University School of Law and University of San Francisco School of Law for a LL.M Master of Laws degree and decided against driving to San Francisco 3 nights a week so INSTEAD I went to St. Thomas University School of Law, an ABA approved law school and I GRADUATED with the LL.M degree with a 3.0 GPA.

 

Once again, no mention of passing the bar.

 

Thank you.

NWCU - JD

Why would you be so evasive about that? What's wrong with those credentials? They're typical of a person who had to earn it the hard way a little later in life. Nothing wrong there. Now that I've drawn you out, how about the MBA? Then I'll be happy. Why I care, I don't know. Perhaps my majoring in the minors is why I haven't made more money with this blooming law degree.
