If you’re asking questions like “Should I go to law school?”, “Is a law degree worth it?”, or “Is online law school right for me?” our alumni interviews may provide some answers. In this video, Abraham Lincoln University online law school graduate Barrett Vaughn reflects on his experience going to law school and joining Delta Theta Phi law fraternity as a nontraditional student.

Barrett earned his B.S. in Agricultural Engineering from Michigan State University and his Ph.D. in Agricultural and Biological Engineering from Pennsylvania State University. During his undergraduate years, he discovered that many of his older classmates planned to continue on to law school after graduation. Considering the career benefits of a legal education, he eventually took the LSAT. Twenty years or so later, he finally decided to start earning his J.D. He wasn’t about to give up his career as a professor though, which is what lead him to research online law school options.

Watch as Barrett discusses why he chose to attend ALU, how asynchronous and synchronous technology affected his learning experience, how his interest in pursuing intellectual property law is supported by his juris doctor degree from ALU, and more. Listen to Barrett’s answers to the following questions:

1. What inspired you to pursue a degree in law, something so different than your previous areas of study?
2. What was it like representing ALU at the national Delta Theta Phi convention in Louisiana this past year?
3. What types of roles are you looking to occupy? Do you see yourself in activism in relation to your background in sustainable technology and practices in agriculture?
4. In what important ways does online education differ from onsite education?
5. Would you say that the small class size contributes to that [direct contact with the professor and other students]?
