Online Law Schools: Fucking Poor Criminal Defendants Over Since 1994.

At Rutgers School of Law, Camden, tuition for the 2011-2012 academic year is $22,394.78. At Yale Law (my first choice, way back when, who didn't even bother sending me a rejection letter), 2011-2012 is $73,680. At William H. Taft School of Law, it's less than 8 grand. Downside: it's an online college and therefore non-ABA accredited. Currently, California is the only state that allows non ABA school graduates to sit for the Bar Exam. So, is that a good thing or a bad thing? Um... Of COURSE it's a bad thing! How the fuck are you going to learn anything that even resembles being an ethical and successful client advocate?! How do you learn how to be an Officer of the Court? You don't, I'm guessing. So who'll use 'em? Those who can't afford a real lawyer. Criminal defendants. Poor criminal defendants. And they'll be fucked because of it.
