Accreditation Status, State Bar Registration, and "Baby Bar" Examination
Concord is registered with the Committee of Bar Examiners of the California State Bar as an unaccredited law school. Because of the law school's status as an unaccredited distance learning law school by the State Bar, Concord students must take and pass California's First-year Law Students' Examination (FYLSE), colloquially called the "Baby Bar," after their first year of law study. Students may progress to advanced law courses and eventually sit for California's State Bar Examination once they have passed the Baby Bar. Concord Law School has not sought approval by the American Bar Association.
Concord is accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council. It is a member of the International Association of Law Schools and the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
