Recent NWCU Law experience? - txc1500 - 05-01-2024

Just finished up at TAMUC and was accepted today at NWCU Law. I know we have had a few fellow forum members attend NWCU Law but is anyone currently enrolled? If so, how are you doing and would you recommend it?

Hello All,
Sorry to bump an old thread, but didn't think it was necessary to make a new one. Yes I am interested in know about this too.

I am also looking into this law school, https://americaninstituteoflaw.com/
but I am not too keen on taking the baby bar, and the tuition is slightly more than NWCU

Another option is the University of London LLB degree which is way cheaper than NWCU, (Around $8500 for students without a first degree, or $6400 for students who have a first degree) but would require a LLM to sit the bar in most US states.

Another option is the UK Open university which is more expensive, but they do not have any formal entry requirements, so basically anyone can enroll in this degree.

If you plan to take the bar in the US, I would be cautious on "University of London LLB degree" and other LLB online degrees from the UK because many states do not accept "online LLB" even with a LLM in the US. Its not as easy as it sounds.

Interesting that you mentioned this. I was just reading someone’s experience on Reddit. Apparently they qualify to sit the NY bar because along with the LLB from the UOL, they have an LLM from an ABA school.

For LLB from the UOL, its all depends on how the person studied. Did they study online or more likely at in-person learning center which is classified differently with NY Bar. Its not all black and white when it comes to the NY or other state bars. Also, unless things changed, NY bar doesn't allow LLM to be online, only in-person.

No idea, however, the combination they have allows them to sit the NY bar. 

The tuition price is tempting, so is the fact that they allow up to 6 years to complete. (I’m in no hurry). Plus I signed up for a free first year of BarBri (for anyone interested, I think the promotion is still running).
The only issue I have with NWCU is the 4 first years courses run concurrently. I wish they were one after the other.
