Online education is taking the nation by storm. More and more students are taking advantage of the ease and convenience of going to school online. Not surprisingly, some law schools have taken to the Internet as well and are now offering the coveted Juris Doctor degree to online learners.

The top players in the field of online legal education are Concord Law School and Abraham Lincoln Law School. Both of these law schools are located in California. Graduates from these two schools are both eligible to take the bar exam in the state of California. After they have successfully taken the exam and join the California bar they may then be eligible for admission in the bar associations of other states. Thus, online law degrees are a legitimate path to the legal profession.

Be sure to thoroughly research all of your options before committing to a particular school. f you are considering earning a law degree from an online law school, you need to ask yourself several fundamental questions before deciding on one direction or another. First, is online learning right for you? Second, do you have available the incredible amount of time and energy it will take to complete law school?

Earning a degree from an online law school will be just as rigorous and demanding as attending a traditional brick and mortar law school. Do you have what it takes?
