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.
Oak Brook College of Law is a Christian law school providing education and training in law and government policy in the context of a Biblical and historical framework. OBCL endeavors to prepare its students for the future practice of law and related careers by establishing 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.
Oak Brook College trains its students by using distance-learning techniques, seminars, workshops and on-line instruction. OBCL offers a four-year juris doctor program, which qualifies graduates to sit for the California Bar Exam, and if successful, to practice law. OBCL also offers a one-year Paralegal program, which qualifies students to sit for the Certified Legal Assistant Examination, and a Legal Studies Program, which allows upper level high school students to take paralegal courses on an a la carte basis.
