How can I get a juris doctorate through the web to pass the bars and be a lawyer in NJ.?


I already have a Ph.D. in Education Administration with an emphasis in statistics. I am looking for a carreer change. I want to spend the least time possible.

New Jersey requires you to qualify to take and to pass the Bar Exam before you can be admitted to practice in New Jersey. In order to qualify to take the New Jersey Bar Exam, you have to have a JD from an ABA-accredited school. If you can find an online ABA-accredited JD program, then you are one step closer. (or an LLM from an ABA-accredited school with a non-ABA accredited JD). You might want to consider California as a location to practice if you want to go through a non-traditional JD program.

"To practice law in the State of New Jersey, a person must (1) have been admitted to the New Jersey Bar, (2) be a member of the bar in good standing, (3) maintain a bona fide office, (4) have completed the Skills and Methods Course in a timely manner, (5) be current with all annual assessment payments of the Disciplinary Oversight Committee and the Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection, see Rule 1:21-1(a) and (6) be in compliance with all requirements of the New Jersey IOLTA Program, see Rule 1:28A-1 and -2."

Any number of schools claim to offer online JDs. Whether such a degree will allow you to even sit for the bar in any state, much less give you the education needed to pass it, is an entirely different question.
