[edit] Outside the U.S.?
Do these exist outside the U.S.? The hatline says the main article is "Law School in the United States," so I infer the comments here apply only to the U.S. I think either there should be a cited mention that the U.S. is the only country with them (which seems unlikely to me), a discussion of them elsewhere (even if rudimentary for now), or it should be moved to Correspondence law school in the United States."

- From what I've been able to gather, there are correspondence law schools incorporated outside the US, but their primary market for students is the US because of liberal laws like in California that let these students take the bar. I doubt British or other common law jurisdictions are as generous about their bar exams. Wl219 16:38, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Correction - I see that Open University in the UK awards an undergraduate bachelor of laws degree, but I don't know if that will qualify a student to become a barrister. Wl219 16:43, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

- yes, the article is totally Americano-centric, as there are many correspondence law schools in other countries, which grant law degrees. I will try to amend it. --Karpada 10:46, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] My two cents
I was enrolled in Northwestern California School of Law and was doing pretty well, but withdrew over family obligations and the death of my dog. Ripped me apart. I really enjoyed it and the staff was great and they know all of the "loopholes." I requested that my first year be deferred, and they know how to do that and readjusted my start date to give me another chance. Great experience and some day I hope to go back.
But...in reading some of their requirements and benefits, I believe that Texas also offers/confers/recognizes an on-line law degree with the ability to practice law. Wikipedia's entry states that California is the only state that allows this. If this has changed since 2006, I'm ignorant of the facts, but someone with more time and gumption could look into it.
If this all sounds like I'm a pitchman, so be it. So sue me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.229.17.111 (talk) 06:56, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
