Concord Law School (Kaplan)

Sanantone, you seem to want to just throw degree programs out there that really aren't comparable. For instance when I brought up legal project management you through out the idea of legal administration which is an entirely different subset of the legal field. A JD and criminal justice are only vaguely related. In fact, CJ wasn't even considered a specialty area of our Bar until a few years ago.

I'm not throwing out degree programs that are related to the degree in question; I'm suggesting degree programs that are related to the career in question. Publius2k4 said before that he wants to advance in private corrections. This is a field where CJ is highly preferred. I don't even see how a JD is all that applicable. A management, public administration, or business administration degree would be better than a JD. Excuse me for suggesting options that are more known and accepted by employers instead of letting people go off into La La Land trying to find the most obscure and and expensive programs for god knows why. I can picture employers thinking, "WTF is an Executive JD?" In interviews they might ask, "So, you're a lawyer?" "Well, how come you earned a JD but never applied to the Bar?" "The program doesn't qualify for the Bar?" "I've never heard of that." There are already law programs for people who don't want to practice; they are called masters in legal studies.

Does a degree in legal project management even exist?
