Concord is about to get its first report card. A batch of about 20 students took the baby bar last month, and the results are expected to come back in December. Among the members of Concord's board of advisers is Arthur Miller, a prominent Harvard law professor. But it remains to be seen whether Concord is a pioneer or a bust. Its students and administrators swear by its virtual law school experience.
Legal resources are a click away.
And the school tracks attendance and participation through log-on records, a far easier method than law professors surveying large lecture halls in the nation's crowded law schools. They want to be on the scene. Concord officials and students say such sentiments miss the point. To them, it isn't a question of whether Concord is better than Boalt Hall's school of law, or Stanford's, or Santa Clara's. Rather, to these advocates of a techno-law degree, Concord represents an alternative.
