I live 3:30 hours away from the nearest law school that provides a night program and I can't move there (Durham). I also would not be able to afford its tuition. I must also keep working full-time.
For the area of law I'd want to practice, immigration, I don't need to be admitted to the NC Bar. I know that I'd be admitted to the CA Bar and I know about the Baby Bar and countless other examinations I'd have to take. I am not planning on joining a high powered law firm anyway. I am not interested in the brand name of the school, just as long as I get a decent education that will allow me to pass the CA Bar down the road.
I cannot quit my job and pursue law school, due to my SO's job. I am particularly intrigued by Taft Law School for a variety of reasons, chiefly for its students' performance on the Baby Bar (better than at some traditional law schools). I like Concord Law but its tuition is quite high and it just doesn't feel right for me.
I preface this by noting that I have worked as a paralegal for 11 long years and thusly I have worked with countless attorneys, in addition to my paralegal degree, where I was taught by practicing attorneys.
Any suggestions? Advice?
