The following disclosure is required by the California Committee of Bar Examiners:
"The method of instruction at this law school for the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree program is principally by correspondence."
"Students enrolled in the J.D. degree program at this law school who successfully complete the first year of law study must pass the First-Year Law Students' Examination required by Business and Professions Code Section 6060(h) and Rule 4.55 of Title 4, Division 1, Chapter 5 of the Rules of the State Bar of California as part of the requirements to qualify to take the California Bar Examination. A student who passes the First-Year Law Students' Examination within three (3) administrations of the examination after first becoming eligible to take it will receive credit for all legal studies completed to the time the examination is passed. A student who does not pass the examination within three (3) administrations of the examination after first becoming eligible to take it must be promptly disqualified from the law school's J.D. degree program. If the dismissed student subsequently passes the examination, the student is eligible for reenrollment in this law school's J.D. program, but will receive credit for only one year of legal study."
"Study at, or graduation from, this law school may not qualify a student to take the bar examination or to satisfy the requirements for admission to practice in jurisdictions other than California. A student intending to seek admission to practice law in a jurisdiction other than California should contact the admitting authority in that jurisdiction for information regarding the legal education requirements in that jurisdiction for admission to the practice of law."
End of Required Disclosure.
Please note that although the J.D. program at CalSouthern School of Law is an entirely online program, the Committee of Bar Examiners defines a distance-learning law school as one that "conducts instruction and provides interactive classes principally by technological means." Although all instruction is conducted online, CalSouthern School of Law does not offer interactive classes and is therefore categorized as a correspondence law school by the Committee of Bar Examiners.
