Concord Law School (also known as Concord University School of Law), is a private online law school based in Los Angeles, California. It is currently known as Concord Law School at Kaplan University and is one of several schools within the University, which is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. All lecture and study sessions are delivered entirely from a secure website on the Internet. Established in 1998, Concord Law School is the United States' first fully online law school.
Concord is registered with the Committee of Bar Examiners of the California State Bar as an unaccredited law school. Because of the law school's status as an unaccredited distance learning law school by the State Bar, Concord students must take and pass California's First-year Law Students' Examination (FYLSE), colloquially called the "Baby Bar," after their first year of law study. Students may progress to advanced law courses and eventually sit for California's State Bar Examination once they have passed the Baby Bar. Concord Law School is not accredited by the American Bar Association and has not sought approval by the ABA.
Many of the faculty and lecturers at Concord are also professors at larger programs at major universities or are in private practice or corporate employment. Some of the institutions that faculty members come from include University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law,Loyola University Chicago School of Law,Wake Forest University School of Law,University of Montana,University of Chicago School of Law,University of New Mexico, and Tulane Law School.
