Is on-line law school a joke? Is anyone going to hire me if I have been a paralegal and now am thinking about enrolling in an on-line law school? What is the passage rate for paralegals turned law school student?

as long as you have a good attitude I guess...
The paralegals I know are crippled because the practice is so different. I know a law clerk, who scored a 75 on the PT's, but it doesn't help his exams at all.
Plus a lot of paralegals have an attitude. I notice they flunk out of law school commonly.
I think so~~ Check out that on-line law school. Better pass rates than the CA accredited and unaccredited schools by far and competitive (and better) than several of the so called ABA schools.

Someone online said:
"I've never seen any statistics on the paralegal pass rate; just my own observations over the years. One of my contract attorneys worked as a paralegal at a small firm for some eight years before deciding to enroll at an on-line law school. Those schools generally have horrible
pass rates, but she passed on her first attempt, and attributes it to her legal background. I don't think it helps much with knowing the law (other than civil procedure), but paralegal experience should help with the performance tests and overall writing."
