#Concord Law School of Kaplan University

Concord Law School is the nation s leading online law school, with more than 1,800 graduates since 1998. Through technology, Concord has transformed traditional legal education and offers working professionals and those limited by geography the opportunity to earn a law degree. Whether you are seeking to advance professionally or fulfill a dream, you can pursue a Juris Doctor (JD), Executive Juris DoctorSM (EJD), or Small Business Practice LLM (JD required) online at Concord.

Concord is registered as a Distance Learning Law School in the unaccredited category with the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California. Concord s method of delivering instruction via the Internet without a fixed classroom facility places it in the Distance Learning Law School category under the State Bar rules. While the State Bar of CA and the American Bar Association (ABA) do not accredit distance learning schools, the Committee registers schools in this category. Concord is registered as such. Its Juris Doctor (JD) program is designed to meet the legal education requirements of the Committee and JD graduates, who meet the regulatory requirements, are eligible to apply for admission to the State Bar of California.

Concord operates under the rules and guidelines established by the Committee. Study at, or graduation from, Concord may not qualify a student to take the bar exam or satisfy the requirements for admission to practice law in jurisdictions other than CA. A student seeking admission to practice law in a jurisdiction other than California should contact the admitting authority in that jurisdiction for information regarding the legal education requirement for admission to the practice of law.

Concord is also accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC),* a nationally recognized accrediting agency with authority from the U.S. Dept of Education to accredit first professional degrees in law.
