If you have always had the dream of becoming a practicing attorney in California, you most likely understand the rigors that are associated with attending a traditional law school.
In the past, in order to practice law in California, you most likely had to attend traditional law school and pass the California Bar to be able to legally practice law in the state.
Thankfully, advancements in online technology has changed the entire landscape of the educational model as we know it. There have only been a few law schools that have made the leap as an accredited online law school education provider.
Abraham Lincoln University is one of the few.
As a result, dreams of becoming a practicing attorney have become a reality for many of our students at ALU. As of June 30, 2014, more than 150 ALU graduates have passed the California Bar Exam in order to practice law in California.
