How do you know if there are any lawyers on there staff.Who reviews there work.?WHY IS CALIF the standard for non ABA SCHOOLS ? i THINK WITH ALL THE CALIF schools and the amount of students who get all the way to passing the REAL BAR the #s are not good.I think   WITH OUT GOING TO A ABA approved school your chances of be coming a lawyer in any state is very low..

Well who is on the faculty?  The website lists no one.  In fact who is the "dean" of the esteemed "law school?"

At a California registered distance learning school, I'd say the odds are at least 20% or better of passing the  bar if you get past the baby bar.  That beats no chance since  M*SL or N++VUS can't seem to name a single graudate who passed a bar, any bar.  Check Taft Law School - they list alumni who successfully passed the bar.

WHY IS CALIF the standard for non ABA SCHOOLS ?

California is the default standard for distance and correspondence law schools because no other state has them.

The Director of MASL is Dr Paschal Baxter he has a linked in account.I also think he is graduate of a Calif law school.Novus is very expensive and in my opinion may not be worth it.Using your figures of a passing rate of 20% after passing the baby BAR which also has a very low passing rate does not bide well for the non ABA route to becoming a lawyer .

Dr. Paschal Baxter DC is a Chiropracter as has been reported here previously:

He also appears to be an inactive member of the NC Bar:

I'd take 20% over 0% anyday.

How about all the money it takes to go to these calif schools 20% is not great when 80% are laying out thousands.

Some of the California distance learning and correspondence law degrees are recognized by other academic instutions - Taft, California Southern, Southwestern, and Henley-Putnam are accredited by DETC.
Even if one does not pass the bar - the degree has some recognition as opposed to ones that don't or like MA$L never will.

All that sounds good but really means nothing .I think a MBA or PHD from University of Phoenix or AIU   well known on line schools, WOULD   BE MONEY BETTER SPENT..
