The key in law school is learning your definitions cold. That means knowing definitions just like you know your name. Then learn how to IRAC your case briefs, and use that same approach to apply the elements of your definitions of law to the facts of your hypotheticals. NWCU is an outstanding law school and Prof. George is awesome!

Anything else that requires your time in the direction of your studies....ie. other readings, podcasts, master classes, etc. I'm currently looking at Legal Eagle on KZfaq/online.

No federal financial aid available. You have to pay out of pocket. That's not a bad deal, as payments are as low as $325 per month, and you graduate with little to no debt. But, if you don't want to, or can't, absorb the cost up front, then this is not the option for you. Both Concord and JFK School of Law at NCU do offer federal financial aid. Otherwise, NWCU Law is a worthwhile option - especially with the potential to earn a JD with no debt on the back end.

Go ahead borrow 50k-100k, see how long it will take you pay it off (if ever). And good luck with PSLF! You're going to be a sad person, even if u do pass CA Bar exam - cause the income is not there.

@MacyySuee2 жыл бұрын
The classes are taken concurrently just like any other school would be. To prevent people from trying to do 1 class at a time (which is not how it’s meant to be) you must submit the same type of assignments for each class together. So you don’t turn case briefs in until they are done for each class and you can submit them at the same time.

I believe April and October are when new live lecture series start, but it really is not that important to determining your start date. I would recommend trying to plan your start date around when you would be taking your finals (the last 4 weeks of the program) because I personally do not want to be stressed over studying for finals around the holidays or at the start of the summer.

I am a very fast reader which takes up a majority chunk of this time so I have found that I don't always have to spend that much time.
