Lincoln offers a 4 and a 4 1/2 year part-time, evening
study program. Students who enter in the Fall complete the
program in 4 years. Students who enter in the January or
Summer programs take a lighter course load during the first
1 1/2 years of study and thus, complete the program in 4
1/2 years.
Students usually attend classes three nights per week except
during Summer Session when students generally attend classes
one or two nights per week. Classes generally are conducted
on week nights between the hours of 6:40 P.M. to 9:30 P.M.
Prospective applicants are encouraged to visit the School.
You may contact the Coordinator of Admissions to arrange a
tour of the facilities; a classroom visit; discussions with
current students, alumni or faculty; a meeting with the
Dean; or to request additional information not contained
on the Web site or in the School's catalog. In addition,
the School hosts an Open House at least twice a year to
provide prospective students with an opportunity to tour
the School facilities. At a typical Open House students
learn more about the Law School program and the study of
law; hear from faculty, current students, and alumni; and
are invited to view currently offered law classes while in session. Please call the School for
specific dates.
Accreditation
Lincoln is accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners
of the State Bar of California. The Law School makes
no representation to any applicant that prior to graduation
of any matriculating student the School will either seek,
apply for or be approved for accreditation by the Western Association of Schools
and Colleges (WASC).
Practice
of Law in California
Graduates of Lincoln are eligible to take the California
General Bar Examination and, upon successful completion
of the Examination, are qualified to practice law in the
State of California. Before beginning legal studies, prospective
students should familiarize themselves with the rules governing
admission to the State Bar. Information may be obtained
directly from the California
State Bar.
Practice of Law in Other States
Many states require graduation from a law school accredited
by the American Bar Association (ABA) or approved by the
state's Supreme Court or examining committee of that state.
As a result, study at, or graduation from Lincoln Law School
of San Jose may not qualify a student to take the bar examination
in other states or satisfy the requirements to practice
law in other states. If a student intends to seek admission
to practice law in a state other than California, the student
should contact the admitting authority in that state for
information regarding the legal education requirements for
admission to practice law.
