Some say it lowers the bar. Either way, its grads are taking the bar. Concord Law School has graduated its first batch of lawyers. Concord is a little different from, say, Harvard Law School. You can't really get a law degree from Harvard wearing your pajamas. Yes, Concord is entirely online with a token brick-and-mortar office in Los Angeles. This week's graduation is the third time in four years that the students have actually met the faculty. The American Bar Association refuses to accredit the school; they don't think law school has a place in cyberspace. Let's face it, in the real world you can't hit the "mute" button when a witness gets hostile.
