Since opening in the fall of 1998, Concord has pioneered the delivery of high quality legal education on the Internet. The school serves working professionals, family caretakers, and others whose circumstances may prevent them from pursuing a legal education at a fixed facility law school.
The typical student is in his or her mid-career with an undergraduate GPA of 3.0. More than 1,800 students are currently enrolled at Concord, including alumni of such prestigious universities as Columbia, Harvard, Yale, MIT, the University of California at Berkeley, Duke, and the University of Chicago. More than one third of the students already hold advanced degrees. Students hail from all U.S. states and 13 other countries and 78 percent reside outside of California.
Concord provides a rigorous and comprehensive legal education with a personalized curriculum and study program leading to a Juris Doctor (JD) degree or an Executive JD. Instruction is both highly theoretical and highly practical, emphasizing a critical understanding of how law functions in society as well as a practical knowledge of how lawyers function within the legal system.
