Why would a student graduating from a distance learning program (Exec. JD) not be able to sit for a bar exam?Any advice on an online law school? Is it a good idea?
Depends on where you want to take the bar. Most states don't allow graduates of unaccredited law schools to sit for the bar, and I think there is maybe one provisionally accredited online law school (there may be none). Accrediation is through the ABA, check to see if it's accredited by them, but I guarantee you whatever you're looking at is not. So yeah, you're probably screwed.
Unless you would want the license to practice for yourself, going to an online law school will be worthless. No employer in the legal field is going to take that seriously.
