PROGRAM

The program of American College of Law is especially designed to meet the needs of the part-time law student. These students by necessity, are required to devote a substantial portion of their time to the support of themselves and their families. A LEGAL EDUCATION has many useful applications outside the practice of law. Many students study law to enhance their current careers i.e. LEGAL SECRETARIES, PROBATION OFFICERS, INSURANCE AGENTS, REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS, DOCTORS, DENTISTS, and many others attend law school to utilize its many facited curricula to further goals in existing employment. Like the studies of History, English Literature and other Liberal Arts Disciplines the study of law broadens knowledge to provide a rich background to those desiring knowledge. The faculty of the college are practicing attorneys who work daily with legal problems. This lends viability to classroom study. These instructors have been selected for their familiarity with the special problems of part-time students and have prepared their courses especially for them. Small classes assure students the personal attention from faculty and administration that increases the effectiveness of the time they spend in college. Academic Advising and tutoring are available when requested. Special emphasis is devoted to subjects on the California Bar Examination so that each student is thoroughly prepared to meet the demands of this important examination. Upon certification by the college, graduates who have satisfied the requirements of the Business and Professions Code Section 6060 and the Rules of the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State of California are eligible to take the California General Bar Examination required by the State of California for Admission to the practice of law in the State of California.
