Distance Education Law Schools / Re: Alternative to University of London - Northumbria University

Thanks. I agree with you about the name recognition. Globally, I think people would indeed more likely recognise LLM. But do they recognise the academic differences? ( e.g. it is a university award generally and not from a law depart or law school). There is also no real research involved ( no thesis or research papers) However it does follow a recognized curriculum just like the individual colleges.
The same seems true of MBA's today. There are so many flavors and access seems easy. Many of the administrative assistants in my last job had MBAs and it was really hard to tell which ones add value to one career.
As far i can tell, the U of L external LLB would not, in general, qualify for NY Bar exam. There has been a lot of discussion around this on other sites.
I can say that my interactions with Northumbria have been very impressive. Whilst not a top 10 or even top 25, they have a unique approach to distance learning.
Thanks again for rejuvenating this discussion. I hope it is of value to others.
