Law Schools Upgrade Online Classes - Leigh Jones, The National Law Journal
Since an accreditation rule change implemented three years ago, the American Bar Association (ABA) has allowed students to take 12 of the 90 credit courses required for a juris doctor degree via "distance learning." Before that time, students could take online courses, but they did not count toward the 90-credit requirement for graduation. The ABA does not accredit schools that offer only online courses, and it permits accredited schools to offer only second- and third-year courses online. In light of the rule change, some schools are expanding their distance course offerings as a way to add variety to their curricula and, in some cases, to extend their "classrooms" to students at other schools.
