Lincoln Law School
of San Jose continues more than an 88-year tradition of
seeking to provide California with lawyers who possess practical
skills and superior ability. The Law School is an opportunity
school--a school that seeks a student body as diverse as
the population of our state, and provides a quality legal
education to individuals who are qualified to study and
practice law but who, because of prior economic or social
circumstances, might not otherwise be able to do so.
Our distinguished faculty is composed of judges and practicing
attorneys, who not only know their subject areas but, as a rule, have
practical legal experience in the area of the law they teach. The
faculty is dedicated to the mission of providing an equal
opportunity to those seeking to become California lawyers.
It is a hallmark of our faculty that they are here primarily
because of their love of the law, their love of teaching, and a fervent desire to impart
their legal knowledge to the next generation of attorneys.
A union of spirited faculty and students, seeking to quench
their thirst for knowledge, creates an elixir conducive
to a cooperative learning process. While this process is
demanding, it is also rewarding for both professor and student.
Our School is small, and our students have the opportunity
to learn in a collegial and supportive environment that
facilitates dialogue and debate. It is the objective of our
classroom activities not only to teach the law, but also
to impart those analytical skills necessary for critical
thinking and rational analysis of the law. We know that it is insufficient
to simply know the "rules". The competent lawyer
learns the reasons for those rules, and the basis upon which
they may be permissibly modified or rejected. As an evening
law school, with very modest tuition, we continue a respected
American tradition of providing a legal education as a pathway and integrative force in a very diverse community.
In the tradition of our namesake and the American experience,
I welcome you to inquire about our School, and invite you
to Lincoln Law School of San Jose.
Joseph H. Moless, Jr., Dean
