To answer your questions:
1. I chose Northwestern because I like the cost, the schools longevity and I was able to locate numerous graduates who have passed the bar after attending this school.
2. I'm in my first year and will start studying for the Baby Bar in January.
3. Northwestern doesn't have any equivalent courses and therefore they do not accept the CLEPS as they have no comparable undergraduate classes. The acceptance of the CLEP for the JD is not the schools policy rather its the States policy as the CLEPS required are in place to ensure that the prospective law student has the basic knowledge to begin his/her legal studies.
Note * California is an odd state in that you can become an attorney without a Bachelors degree or even an AA degree. CA is the only state in the nation that operates like this.
I look forward to hearing your updates
California has thrown a superb option on the table as far as law is concerned and I will probably follow you
Now with William Mitchell getting approval from the ABA for what is basically an online ABA JD, things could start getting very interesting with online JD's
