Find How to Get Your Law Degree Online

Did you know that you can successfully complete a law degree online? An online law degree can help you qualify for a number of excellent jobs, including (in some states), admission to the state bar as an attorney.

Other online law school graduates use their degrees to seek positions as highly paid paralegals, as contract analysts, and as legal researchers.

If you want to practice law as an attorney admitted to practice law in a U.S. State, be aware that many States require graduation from a law school approved by the American Bar Association or approved or accredited by that state’s Supreme Court or examining committee as a prerequisite to taking the bar examination in that state. Some online law schools are not approved by the American Bar Association. Check with their admissions office to be sure.

California is the only state which will accept graduation from a distance education law school as the qualifying standard for admission to their bar examination. However, some states will permit graduates from non-ABA schools to sit for their bar examination after a California attorney has practiced for a period of time (generally five years). Applicants who intend to seek admission in a state other than California should consult the admitting authority in that state to determine if study at a particular school will be accepted.
