Prepare to Outperform the Rest
St. Francis School of Law offers students who excel in a rigorous academic environment the opportunity to achieve a high-quality legal education in an online Juris Doctor program that provides flexibility and convenience.
St. Francis students consistently perform better on the California First Year Law Students Exam (FYLSE) and California General Bar Exam (CBX) than students from other law schools, including many schools accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California and approved by the Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admission to the Bar of the American Bar Association (ABA).
- 79.6% of St. Francis School of Law students taking the FYLSE from October 2012 through October 2017 (the last 11 times it has been administered) have passed the FYLSE.
- 75% of St. Francis School of Law graduates who have ever taken the CBX have passed the CBX.
Our innovative curriculum, highly accomplished faculty, and experiential learning opportunities prepare our students with the legal doctrine, theoretical framework, and practical skills training they need to practice law effectively as soon as they graduate.
St. Francis focuses on both the quality of legal training and professional skill development. By gearing the law school experience to this deeper level, our students graduate with the critical thinking, speaking, writing, and other skills needed to solve complex real-world legal problems.
