[edit] INTRODUCTION
"History is filled with the names of famous American lawyers and jurists who, for one reason or another, came to the Bar after having been essentially self-taught in law. Persons like Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall, Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, (Harvard) Dean Roscoe Pound, Robert Jackson (Chief U.S. Prosecutor at Nuremberg and U.S. Supreme Court Justice), Clarence Darrow, and many more, either spent little time in law school or, in the example of Lincoln, never even saw the inside of a law school. They had in common a burning desire to learn law and mentors to guide them in their quest." Excerpt from http://www.nwculaw.edu/welcome_message.shtml
[edit] ONLINE LAW EDUCATION
"Northwestern California University is a non-traditional law school. It arose from the needs of those who desired to study law but because of financial limitations, family responsibilities, geographic location, time constraints, etc., could not attend a regular classroom type law school."
[edit] OLDEST LAW SCHOOL OF ITS TYPE
Northwestern California University (NWCU) School of Law offers Bar-Licensed JDs, Non-Bar JDs, LL.M.s, S.J.Ds and Paralegal programs. NWCU is the oldest law school of its type with continual operation in California.
