ACCREDITATION
Lincoln Law School of San Jose
Juris Doctor Candidates
Lincoln Law School of San Jose is accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California. Other than practicing law in California, a student studying at or graduating from LLS may not qualify to take the bar examination or be admitted to practice law in jurisdictions other than California. A student who intends to seek admission to practice outside of California should contact the admitting authority in that jurisdiction for information regarding its education and admission requirements.
Master’s Degree Candidates
Except as provided in rule 4.30 of the Admissions Rules (Legal Education in a foreign state or country), completion of a professional law degree program at this law school other than for a Juris Doctor degree does not qualify a student to take the California Bar Examination or satisfy the requirements for admission to practice law in California. It may not qualify a student to take the bar examination or to satisfy requirements for admission to the practice of law in any other jurisdiction. A student intending to seek admission to practice law should contact the admitting authority in the jurisdictions where the student intends to qualify to sit for the bar examination or to be admitted to practice for information regarding their legal education requirements.
Western Association Of Schools And Colleges (WASC) Eligibility
Lincoln Law School of San Jose has applied for Eligibility from the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC).
