I'm not planning on getting it to work in law, but I think it would be helpful as I transition away from private practice and move toward an administrative role.

From a educational standpoint, it's a great education- no idea how online classes would work as the lectures and engaging & exchange between students is pretty vital. Not sure that they offer any through an ABA accreditated school as an option to get your JD. Things might have changed, but before that would mean you could only sit for the Bar in California or Wisconsin, which don't have reciprocity.
The profession is in need of some reform, but I mean that simply from a standpoint of as Hamas touched on- higher education has become a business of churning out more and more, and the market is over saturated.
It's still one hell of a handy tool for dealing with an ever growing complex life.
