I am aware of a couple of classmates in the NWCU program who are currently in law enforcement. We love their input in Crim Law and Crim Pro class discussions. I am in my 3rd year of the NWCU program. Passed the FYLSE on my first attempt as did all of my study group partners from the school.
There are multiple reasons for one to enter an online program. For me it was that I still have children at home and the nearest university was over an hour away and it would run me nearly $100,000 to complete my degree. Law is a wonderful subject that really can be studied without being in a classroom however, don't think that I don't have brick and mortar envy. I would love to be in school but also did not want to leave my family for that many hours per day and also want the lovely flexibility to not have to work to pay off loans but have the ability to work for a cause (and generally "causes" don't pay so well!)
Enjoy the decision making process. No scenario is perfect so find the one that you feel works best for you. I will say that I was absolutely prepared for the FYLSE with a combination of great writing instruction through the program as well as Professor Flemings Baby Bar Prep course. In a way I feel grateful to have already taken the FYLSE as I have a little understanding as to what the actual Bar exam will be like.
Warm regards, SJ
