REGISTERED UNACCREDITED CORRESPONDENCE LAW SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA

The following institutions are currently registered by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California (Committee) as unaccredited correspondence law schools. A correspondence law school is a law school that conducts instruction principally by correspondence. A correspondence law school must require at least 864 hours of preparation and study per year for four years.

This list is published for informational purposes only. Please refer to Title 4, Division 3 of the Rules of the State Bar of California (Unaccredited Law School Rules) for the requirements for registration as an unaccredited correspondence law school. Neither the Committee nor the State Bar's Office of Admissions will advise prospective students on the advantages or disadvantages of studying law by correspondence or the quality of the legal education programs provided by the listed schools. Prospective students should refer to available resources such as the law school pass/fail statistics on the bar examination and First-Year Law Students' Examination (available on the Admissions portion of The State Bar of California's website at ), current and former students, prelegal advisers located on college or university campuses, and other career counselors, among others.

Applicants seeking admission to practice law in California will receive credit for their law study at a registered unaccredited correspondence law school only if such study is completed in accordance with Title 4, Division 1 of the Rules of the State Bar of California (Admissions Rules). Students attending registered unaccredited correspondence law schools are required to take the First-Year Law Students' Examination and must pass it within three administrations after first becoming eligible to take the examination, which is upon completion of the first year of law study, in order to receive credit for law study undertaken up to the point of passage. If the examination is passed on a subsequent attempt, only one year of law study credit will be given toward meeting the legal education requirements needed to qualify to take the California Bar Examination.
