Distance Education Law Schools / Something different: Novus University« on: March 18, 2006, 11:26:09 AM »
Has anyone else ever heard of Novus University, which offers academic, law and LLM degree programs?
It is accredited only by the WAUC, very low cost, and it seems it is categorized somewhere between a diploma mill and an actual online program (as it actually requires 3 years for the JD degree, or less for an accelerated program) with the same curriculum as most law schools. The school does not operate purely from a base location, but consists of Mail and Information Centers. It has open admission, and requirements for admission similar to those of California DL law schools. The website does not mention actual instructors, but Mentors, which makes me wonder if it is a basically self-study program, or a correspondence course type of program. It also sort of sounds as if it is a supplement for those studying by apprenticeship. The school does not guarantee that it prepares anyone for the bar exam, admission to the Bar, or that it meets any requirements for career advancement, and is very explicit when saying that it is the student's responsibility to determine if what the school offers can fulfill the requirements of various states or the student's needs and expectations. 3

DL law students forming their own law firms?
Benefits: Avoid the hassle of firms who don't accept DL law degrees Feel accepted and understood by peers. Share knowledge, areas of specialty, experience with co-lawyers. Share expenses--rent, utilities, electronic services, etc Lower rates for group insurance, retirement plans, etc. Other things to consider: entrepreneural ability? accounting and bookkeeping ability? office management? marketing--advertising and publicity liability--cost of malpractice insurance any other good ideas? 4
