Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to become a practicing lawyer completely by distance learning?

Absolutely, in fact, I and many others have done just that. You can also attend classes if you prefer, the choice is yours.


What happens if I get rejected by every ABA approved law school I apply for, is there still some hope for me?

Yes, there are many possible alternatives. You can enroll in certain non-American Bar Association (ABA) approved law schools throughout the US or, you can even attend a foreign law school and come back and sit for a bar exam in America.. If you don't want to attend you can, of course, study by correspondence or online at law schools in the US and throughout the world.


I've heard that the non-ABA approved laws schools are not accredited, if that's the case how can I sit for a bar exam when I get my law degree?

First things first, The law School Bible only list law schools whose graduates are permitted to take the bar exam. It is true that ABA law schools are among the finest in the world and I think that any law school that has met the stringent standards of the ABA will provide you with an outstanding legal education. Period. However, this does not mean that you cannot obtain an equally superb education from other law schools.

Finally, many of the foreign law schools listed in the book are fully accredited and are among the most prestigious in the world.
