About
Lincoln Law School of Sacramento was founded in 1969 to meet a growing need in Sacramento for a high-quality yet affordable law school. The school was designed to allow students the opportunity to study for a law degree and the California Bar while holding full-time employment.
Lincoln Law School of Sacramento employs faculty from the greater Sacramento legal community. These lawyers and judges bring practical, up-to-date instruction to the Law School classrooms, keeping students abreast of the constantly changing legal profession.
The professors, dean, and administration are readily available to give advice to students in need of help with study techniques, financial matters, program changes, or grading and examination methods.
Practical experience on the student level is stressed at Lincoln Law School. Required courses are used as a foundation for understanding the law. Elective and experiential opportunities are designed to broaden and diversify the student’s background.
The success of the Law School’s mission, objectives, and goals can be measured, in part, by its graduates who pass the California Bar Examination and become responsible, practicing attorneys. Lincoln Law School is located just minutes from the California State Capitol, the U.S. District Court, California’s Third District Court of Appeal, the Sacramento County Law Library, the California State Library, Sacramento County Superior Court, and the Witkin State Law Library.
For 55 years, Lincoln Law School of Sacramento continues to hold true to our mission – to provide an excellent legal education to a qualified and diverse student body through an accessible and supportive four-year program.
