Concord Law School

[brad3210]

I've been accepting by Concord Law School and I am very concerned as to whether or not a degree from Concord is worth the hard earned cash that I am going to spend on it. I'd love to here back from people who have been to Concord and what their experiences were like. I just read this article on Concord Law School and I'm curious as to what folks think.

I think if you're interesting in practicing law locally in California or if you're interested in working for the govermment that Concord is a fine choice. Don't expect big law firms (or any law firms) to be knocking on your door courting you after you earn a Concord degree. It's just not going to happen.

not a good idea.. this school is not ABA accredited and will make it VERY difficult for you to actually use the degree... plus the salary you will make upon graduation makes the tuition not worth it.. IMO

Generally, xthenrox is right. But, and it's a big but, if you have no other options available and you're career aspirations immediately are to open a small local california practice or work for the government...Concord is fine. Otherwise, you'll get a better education and be much more likely to pass the bar with a degree from a different school.

Are you looking to now the truth about on line law schools? There are a few of them out there, particularly, Concord and Abraham Lincoln School of Law? If so, check out this report: Online Law Schools: Are They Worth It?

My friend read it and now he's not going to online law school!

DBMEDIA:

Just read the report. Some interesting information on Concord and Abraham Lincoln - yet - online law students need to be especially weary about their future career prospects.

I would say that online law schools are worth it but greatly depends in which state you live in. For example for me online law schools are not useful as NYC will not accept the diploma, but if you live in California then you have more opportunities with it.
