New Book Will Explore Online Law Degrees

A new book "THE TRUTH ABOUT ONLINE LAW SCHOOLS" is coming soon that will seek to give information to prospective law students whom are interested in attending online law school.

From Amazon.com:

"Is attending an online law school in the United States worth the investment? Are there legitimate online law schools and if so, which ones? How does learning law over the internet really work? Will I be able to compete with graduates from traditional Brick and Mortar schools? All these questions are answered in this guide to the online law school experience. Plus, learn where in the United States a graduate with an online degree can actually practice the law, plus much more. Read along as admissions directors, HR managers, practicing attorneys, and online law school graduates weigh in on the professional desirability of a degree from an online law school."

We've requested an advance reading copy. If the book does what it claims it does it will be a valuable addition to the literature. We'll let you know what we think. If you do buy the book please let us know what you think!

The Law School Reference Letter

Is the law school reference letter helpful in getting you into law school? No, not really. LSAT scores and undergraduate GPAs are typically the king-maker. However, you will have to still get these personal reference letters from former professors. Don't waste your time (or anybody elses) with letters from spouses, family, neighbors, co-workers, supervisors from stupid, meaningless jobs, focus instead on mentors and professors.
