In this week’s episode of the legal affairs podcast Lawyer2Lawyer, we look at online law schools. For reasons ranging from finances to lifestyle, increasing numbers of lawyers-to-be are opting to get their legal education online. In addition, at least one online law school now also offers an LLM program for lawyers who want to advance their education.
Ellen Murphy
To discuss these topics, we welcome two guests:
- Ellen Murphy, program director for Concord Law School’s LLM program in small business practice and a professor for the law school’s course in cross-profession ethics.
- Ross E. Mitchell, the graduate of Concord Law School who made history in 2008 when he became the first graduate of an online, unaccredited law school to win permission to take the bar exam in a state outside California and who went on to pass the Massachusetts bar and be sworn in as a lawyer there.
You can listen to the program or download the MP3 from the Legal Talk Network.

Congrats to Ross Mitchell. However, Mitchell is not the only one. In Jim Rice, of Hammond Law Office in Caldwell, ID, graduated from Taft Law School in 2000, passed the CA Bar in 2001, & petition the ID Bar for a waiver to take their exam. They allowed him & he passed in 2002; no court hearing necessary.
