Online LLB

Hello, I'm curious if anyone pursuing a career in law has completed an online LLB degree?
It can be done. Please see the link below. This young barrister has a first class LLB from the Open University, and a BCL from Oxford. She studied for the the LLB mostly online while doing down a serious job for a Government contractor. Even her BCL was mostly studied online because of lock downs. Birkbeck is another option: study during evenings. I know someone who got a first in History and Politics at Birkbeck while working as a Nanny and Dog Walker (and also partying like it was 1999) and then went straight into a civil service job in the Cabinet Office. Jane Mulcahy KC and Nick De Marco KC, both at Blackstone Chambers, have Birkbeck LLBs completed while working as a trade journalist (Jane) and Night Club Bouncer/General East End Geezer (Nick).

I add that my chambers have just taken on as a tenant a pupil who did an LLB at the OU while working for a Housing Association.
