Exhibit A: One of California’s best
Students who participate in our online JD degree program consistently perform better on the California First Year Law Students Exam (FYLSE) and California General Bar Exam (CBX) than students from other law schools. These include many that are accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California and those approved by the Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admission to the Bar of the American Bar Association (ABA).
Exhibit B: The tools, the talent
Our innovative curriculum, highly-accomplished faculty, and experiential learning opportunities prepare you with the legal doctrine, theoretical framework, and practical training you need to practice law with efficiency and confidence.
80.95%
of St. Francis School of Law students taking the FYLSE, through October 2018, have passed the FYLSE.
63.64%
of St. Francis School of Law graduates who have ever taken the CBX have passed the CBX.
60.0%
of St. Francis graduates passed the February 2019 California Bar Exam the first time, exceeding the 45% first time pass rate for California ABA law schools.
St. Francis focuses on quality of legal training and professional skill development. Our online JD degree program school helps students graduate with the critical thinking, speaking, writing, and other skills needed to solve complex real-world legal problems.
A New Approach to Academic Excellence
St. Francis has small class sizes, a highly experienced faculty, and practical skills training throughout the curriculum. Our innovative technologies support face-to-face classroom sessions and encourage increased student-faculty contact outside of class. It’s the ideal program for Juris Doctor students who want to learn at a deeper, more meaningful level.
