[nabs-l] Online Education PROS and CONS?

[Loren Wakefield]

I am considering serious the idea of pursuing the lifelong dream of going to 
law school.  If I do go forward, it will be with an online course of study. 
I would be interested in the thoughts of others as well.

I do believe that the future of education is online.  But I also realize 
that this will present a whole new set of challenges.  But as is the case 
with any other set of  challenges, they can be overcome and made to work for 
us.  What say you?
