As a californian I believe you don't need to graduated an accedited law school to sit for the bar exam in that state.

In other words, there are plenty of CA law schools open to you. Check it out. One problem is you MUST notify all clients of this fact before retainer. NO law firm will hire you either. So if you just want to know law better and sue your nieghbor once in a while go for it , if you want to make a living, don't.

Actually, the impetus for this thread was my desire to learn more. I'm happy in my career (my third) and I'm just looking for some intellectual stimulation. I thought it would be a challenge to get a law degree and, perhaps, pass the bar. This might sound a bit odd to some people, but I have lived my entire life taking on challenges that others said were insurmountable. Can you say "Just for the fun of it?"

What I find quite amusing is the unaccredited schools have a higher pass rate on the bar exam than the ABA accredited!!!LOL

Edit : actually, scratch that They pass the First-Year Law Student Examination better but not the bar...It's getting late
