Many Law Schools offer undergraduate law degrees through the distance course, in programs that use technology combined with sound teaching practices to deliver high quality courses for their students. All law units feature an online presence, and most courses have supplementary CD ROM reading materials.

If you decided to obtain a degree in Law through the distance courses, you should get to know that distance education in Law differs from others correspondence and online degrees. The American bar Association, which sets the guidelines for 49 of the 50 states bar exams refuses to accredit any distance based law programs. This means that you will not be able to take the traditional bar exam in those states for becoming a lawyer. However, it is possible to earn a degree online that is approved by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State of California, which will allow you to practice law in both the state of California and in a federal court if you pass the California bar exam. After practicing law for several years in California you will generally be eligible to take the bar exam in another state.

Convincing your potential employer that your distance learning law degree is legit and every bit as rigorous as a traditional program you will need to look for a couple things. Make sure the school of your choice is regionally accredited, if it is not, then your ability to find employment or seek further degrees and education at other institutions will be seriously limited. It is also recommended to choose a distance learning law degree offered by a school with an established on campus law degree program, even better if this on campus program is in fact ABA accredited. Beware international universities, their courses may not be the same as those used in the US, or recognized as on par with domestic law degree programs.
