About Oak Brook College
The mission of Oak Brook College of Law and Government Policy is to provide education and training in law and government policy in the context of a Biblical and historical framework; to prepare its students for the future practice of law and related careers; and to build and establish the Biblical foundations of truth, righteousness, justice, mercy, equity, integrity, and the fear of God in legal education and in the professional arenas of law and government policy.

Statement of Mission
The mission of Oak Brook College of Law and Government Policy is to train individuals who desire to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ through service as advocates of truth, counselors of reconciliation, and ministers of justice in the fields of law and government policy.
Perspective and Methods
Oak Brook College approaches law and government policy from a Biblical and historical perspective. Oak Brook College students are committed to the self-evident truths articulated by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and they reject the faith of evolution and the religion of secular humanism. Students learn the Biblical foundations of the Common Law and are challenged to make conventional application of these principles to resolve today’s legal and governmental issues.
A Message from the Dean
Dear Prospective Student,
On behalf of the Chancellor, Board of Directors, and faculty, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the Oak Brook College of Law and Government Policy.
Oak Brook College was established on the premise that legal education in America is in need of significant reform. Notwithstanding the well-intentioned efforts of various legal reformers, there are still many valid complaints coming from consumers of legal services, as well as the bar and bench. Oak Brook College introduces innovative distance-education methods of learning that provide a fresh alternative to the paradigm followed by conventional law schools. In addition to changes in the method of education, an emphasis is placed upon the character qualities that are necessary to improve the legal system.
