First,               most               states               will               allow               California               attorneys               to               sit               for               their               Bar               exam               after               5               to               7               years               of               continuous               service               in               California               as               a               practicing               lawyer.

The               second               option               is               to               enroll               in               an               apprenticeship               program.

Some               states               like               Washington               and               Colorado               offer               an               alternative               way               to               becoming               an               attorney.

You               can               work               with               a               state-licensed               attorney               for               a               state-determined               number               of               years               as               a               legal               apprentice.

This               particular               accreditation               does               help               to               guarantee               the               quality               of               education               that               a               student               will               receive.

While               the               school's               website               did               not               mention               if               it               was               an               approved               program               by               the               Committee               of               Bar               Examiners               of               the               State               of               California,               it               did               appear               on               their               list               of               approved               programs,               so               students               who               graduate               from               this               program               will               be               able               to               sit               for               the               California               Bar               Exam.

               Cost               
               The               cost               of               a               legal               education               can               be               daunting.

Traditional               law               programs               are               not               only               expensive               but               the               American               Bar               Association               also               places               limitations               on               how               much               a               student               can               work               while               attending               law               school.

Because               of               these               work               restrictions               law               students               are               required               to               either               borrow               money               for               living               expenses               or               cover               them               with               scholarships,               grants,               and               savings.

Distance               law               programs,               on               the               other               hand,               are               a               lot               less               expensive               and               they               impose               no               restrictions               on               when,               or               how               much               you               can               work.

These               two               factors               make               distance               law               programs               a               desirable               alternative               to               a               traditional               law               program.
