In Reply To: I have heard about them, If you can't get into law school that is ABA approved, you can go to these schools. Is it worth it? and can you get a job?
Message: A few folks in CA go unaccred. and make a living. Some make a nice living. Some can't get through the baby bar. Many never pass the bar at all. Some pass the bar, and never work as lawyers. I don't recommend the unaccredited route. Unaccredited grads have a much tougher job search than accredited grads. With a few palpable exceptions, the unaccred. schools have poor bar passage results. This is not the best way to go to law school. It's really for folks so eager to become lawyers despite inadequate credentials or inopportune locale that they will take large economic risks to achieve a dream. I'm not knockin' it, it's the American dream, but I don't see that it's something to recommend.
