I definitely think that more online classes should be offered for 2Ls/3Ls. Not the core stuff, but classes like Juvenile Law, or Death Penalty, or Water Law, etc.

At least at my school, those electives were usually taught by adjuncts, were small, and didn't rely so heavily on Socratic method. I think a class like that could easily be done online.

Mixed feelings.

On the one hand, I think why not. The world is changing, technology is improving, why not allow it?

On the other hand, I've taken a couple of online classes (from a totally reputable source), and to me the quality of experience suffered. It's difficult to replicate the experience of being in a classroom, and especially the experience of law school classes. Having to stand up in front of a room full people, making arguments on the fly, learning to control your nerves...these are all important lessons that can't really be experienced online.

Does that mean that online is automatically bad? No, but I think we have to accept that it's different and (at least in some ways) lacking.

Your Honor Society idea is interesting, although I'm not sure if the market exists. The target audience for online, I think, are the 130 LSAT crowd you mentioned and working adults. Anyone with a 170 is likely to want a traditional, prestigious law degree.

Hi,
In Australia, most Law degrees are undergraduate double degrees where students study Law and another subject.  There are many options such as Law & Psychology, Law & Accounting, Law & Marketing, Law and Engineering, Law and Medical Science, Law & Biology, Law & Chemistry, Law & Arts, Law & Social Science  etc.  Normally course is 5 to 6 years long and students complete the non-Law degree first followed by the Law degree component.  But, students start some law subjects from the first year.

Few examples are below:

My question is, what would be the best double degree other than commerce/Accounting?  I am more in interested about the option that would give me more job opportunities.

I am applying for universities next month and any reply is very helpful for me.
 

I'm a prospective student wondering what was your story of becoming a lawyer? What did you do in undergraduate studies and at the time during law school?
