Concord Law School (Kaplan)

A masters degree in CJ covers a completely different curriculum that focuses mainly on crime and punishment (victimology, criminology, community based corrections, etc.) The Executive JD is more in depth with courses related more to the judicial system itself (Torts, contracts, legal writing, civil and criminal procedure, etc.).

How would that be better for someone in correctional leadership? Today's prisons focus more on rehabilitation. A law degree will give you almost no training in the behavioral sciences and correctional therapies.

That being said, a student graduating from this program and passing the California Bar could also practice in some other states. For example, if an attorney is a member of the Bar in any other state, that attorney can sit for the Bar in the state of Georgia, regardless of their educational background.

Are you sure about that? Are you sure this program would qualify someone to take the California Bar?

Enrollees also have somewhat more flexibility in their pace of study as they are not required to adhere to the strict guidelines of the State Bar of California.
