California Southern University Law School - No Longer Enrolling

[dfrecore]

Some people just might want to study law because they find it interesting. There's a guy in my town who's a successful insurance agent. He got bored in his 40s and went to law school for the hell of it. "Lawyers are involved in almost everything from business to crime to real estate to politics. I figured they know how the mechanics of the world works. I just wanted to see how the mechanics of the world worked." He did ultimately pass the bar and open a practice, but all he does is a small handful of mediation cases and handles the legal needs of a couple non-profits. It's just a hobby. His law office is his man-cave.
If there was a really affordable online law school, I'd be kind of interested myself with no intention of taking the bar or practicing. Really about the same reasons. Just interested in the legalese behind every political move and high profile criminal case or investigation.

Couldn't you just self-study without enrolling in a law school?
