Americas Legal Bookstore published and is distributing a book entitled “The Online Law Schools Book”. The book is written by Domenick Latella, and is a review of California on-line law schools .
Mr Latella wrote regarding the California School of Law:
California School of Law is "THE ONLY SCHOOL TO OFFER LIVE SOCRATIC METHOD TEACHING ONLINE"
The school is the only Online Law School to offer live mandatory attendance of classes, with the true law school way of teaching using the Socratic Method. If there are critics "of on-line law schools" out there saying that students are missing out on things by not being GRILLED by their teachers, look no further. If you want a true law school experience, look no further. Students are equipped with VOiP software, and headsets, and meet live twice per week in a real virtual class. Teachers use the Socratic Method asking students questions in the same manner that teachers at Harvard, Yale, and any traditional school ask their students. Classes are on Tuesday and Thursday nights, at 6:00 pm PDT. So, basically anyone can attend.
This is the closest thing to a real law school. You will learn how to prepare for class, interact live in class, and have a true Law School experience! As the years go on, there are Moot Courts and trial practice, Live, again assuring the most real life Law School Experience of any of the on-line law schools. You better be prepared for class!
The California School of Law is Real Law School!!! If you have two nights per week for the next four years, it will give you the most Real Law School experience possible. Students also can meet online for study groups. It is amazing. A thumbs up!!!
Testimonial
I’d like you to know my sentiments are truly from the heart:
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity. I am learning at a comprehension level way beyond the brick and mortar school (XXXXX) where I attended the summer of 2006.
Imagine, reasonable tuition and textbook pricing, no parking problems, no registration lines, learning everything with the help of cutting edge technology! This is a "live or real time" law school class. The professors know my name, and my individual writing style. This is not a dream--for me, it is a reality.
When finished with this program your research skills will outshine most brick and mortar schools because the wave of the future is digital technology. While technology is creeping into the courts now, those who can use it will be running the courts for this next generation of lawyers.

California School of Law teaches law the right way. One day while watching a popular news program, I heard a legal analyst incorrectly refer to one of the critical elements of a legal cause of action involving negligent infliction of emotional distress. I recognized the error after only month of training!
A state-of-the-art software program allows students to communicate freely with professors as well as each other during class sessions. The instant feedback not only promotes cognitive learning, it gives the student the advantage of learning in the comfort of his/her preferred location. No crowded classrooms, no parking passes, and no traffic congestion!
I have studied in law libraries, but with Lexis I am able to determine at a glance whether the law I was researching was “good law." Now I have online access to the largest legal library in the world and can tell with the click of a computer mouse whether the law is current.

Testimonial for California School of Law
___________________________________________________
After researching many law schools, both brick and mortar and online, I found The California School of law to be the most rewarding! Here, I receive the same schooling as if I were in the classroom, except I am able to attend from the comfort of my own home.
From the first day, the professors taught the skill of being a lawyer, coupled with actual substantive law. Before the end of your first semester, you are actually arguing cases in Interoffice Memos, Case Briefs, and Trial Briefs. Added to that, you are able to argue cases in the classroom with other students. (sometimes you win) However, it doesn’t end there!
The skill in passing the bar rests heavily upon your ability to write. The bar examiners know each applicant understands to some degree the substantive law, however, they are looking for attorneys who can express their legal analysis in writing. To that end, a student has to be able to think, and write like an attorney.
Our legal research and writing professor is both an Law and English professor. She quickly analyzes your writing style and errors, and corrects the errors at the beginning of the semester. By the time you get to the end of the semester, I can guarantee (BUT THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL OF LAW DOES NOT) you will not make those same mistakes.
