Law School Online

[Vle045]

I really wonder with the ABA's issue is. It's 2021 and even without the pandemic online learning has become HUGE and is continuing to grow not decrease. There are paralegal programs available online taking the same law courses and using the exact same textbooks. It's ok for paralegals but not lawyers? Why?

There are no ABA approved online programs for Paralegals.  They approve some hybrid programs.  And there are crap ton of paralegal programs that are not ABA approved.  While it is not a requirement for a paralegal to have an ABA approved degree, it definitely can help.  Some employers prefer it.   Having completed a Paralegal program from an ABA approved school, I can certainly understand why.  Some experiences you just can’t get online.    I began my Paralegal program at a business school that was not ABA approved and I saw a HUGE difference in the two programs.
