It's Your Education, Make an Informed Choice.

Applicants who have completed a bachelor's degree in a regionally or Distance Education and Training Council (DETC)-accredited institution in the United States that is approved by the State Bar of California will be considered for admission to Concord's JD degree program. This part-time program is grounded in core bar courses. Students in the Juris Doctorate program must successfully complete at least 22 to 24 units of coursework during each of four years. Concord students balance the demands of four or five concurrent courses in their integrated curriculum, while developing their legal knowledge and skills.

Juris Doctorate students meet regularly with classmates in study groups, to share experiences, and to support one another in their studies. Meetings take place online, on the phone, and, occasionally, face-to-face. According to the results Concord received from the Law School Survey of Student Engagement, conducted by the Indiana University at Bloomington's Center for Postsecondary Research, Concord students report being more engaged in their studies than the overall group of law students surveyed.
