Facts About Concord Law School

Concord Law School is an
Internet-based legal educational institution and is not accredited as a law
school by any nationally recognized authorities. Concord Law School was at one
time formally known as Concord University School of Law, and since having
become part of the Kaplan test preparation company in 2007, has been known as
the Concord Law School of Kaplan University. Concord Law School is based out of
Los Angeles, California and has been available since 1998.

Students enrolled in Concord
Law School can choose to take either Juris Doctor or Executive Juris Doctor
degree classes. Concord Law School graduates with the J.R. degree can thus take
the California Bar Examination and, if they pass, practice as lawyers in
California. The executive J.D. degree does not allow people to take the
California Bar Examination, but instead provides grounding in law for people
not planning on actually practicing as a lawyer. Taking the Juris Doctor degree
Concord Law School course imposes the requirement on students to take 92 units
over a period of four years. The Executive Juris Doctor degree, on the other
hand, involves taking 72 units over a period of three years.

A Concord Law School graduate
was allowed to use the J.R. degree accreditation in order to take the
Massachusetts bar examination after suing, in a case heard by the State Supreme
Court in his favor. Concord Law School was administered by Dean Barry Currier
from 2004 until his announced departure from the position in 2010.
