I&amp;rsquo;d like to provide an opinion on one aspect of these mergers. The concept of &amp;ldquo;online law school&amp;rdquo; is what I&amp;rsquo;m talking about, and I have some concerns.

&lt;p&gt;That's a very good point. I know a couple of people struggling with this right now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; The thing is, even if you have zero intention of practicing, the degree is a hell of a resume builder.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Concord Law School</title><link>http://community.elearners.com/blogs/kaplan_management_degree/archive/2007/11/12/concord-law-school.aspx#10739</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 18:13:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a38ca78a-ab42-484e-baa9-96b732762621:10739</guid><dc:creator>jayncali73</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I think if you want to do it, survive it and pass the bar; more power to you! I am a Concord student and I think the program is vey rigorous and Concord has a higher bar pass rate than the local bar accredited brick n mortar school that is in my area. Concord is about half the tuiton too!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I do agree that studying law online is very difficult, it is not impossible and it is the best mode of study for me. I plan on practicing law in a local government setting when I'm done so ABA doesn't matter. I will have half of the debt load that the other attorneys have who graduated from an ABA school have. If you want to be &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;high powered&amp;quot; attorney and work for a fortune 500 company, etc, etc then I would advise you find an ABA school. Otherwise, Concord is filling a niche for mid-career, motivated adults who want to learn the law. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
