There are paralegal programs available online taking the same law courses and using the exact same textbooks. It's ok for paralegals but not lawyers? Why?
With there still being a stigma in that field against online learning, they figure since Paralegals don't try cases and their work has to be to reviewed by licensed Attorneys, the level of risk clients would be exposed to is controlled and contained by checks and balances. Personally, I feel that thinking is flawed because if an online law student is allowed to take and pass the bar, he/she will have proven the necessary competence to be a licensed Attorney the same way their offline counterparts have.
