What are the benefits of Oak Brook College?
There are three primary benefits that Oak Brook College provides that will allow you to be a better attorney and more fulfilled in your work.
1. God-Centered Worldview: We believe that you cannot separate God from your legal career. A large part of the ethical crisis in the legal profession today is the lack of a solid moral foundation in today's law school graduates.
2. Opportunities for Apprenticeship: Most law school graduates usually spend the first few years of practice learning how to practice law. Because Oak Brook College is a four-year program that is completed mainly by correspondence, there are more opportunities to work in a law office so that you know how to practice when you graduate.
3. Low Cost: Most law school graduates have upwards of $60,000 in loans to repay after graduating. This means that even if they feel called to public interest in law, they are unable to afford it because they must get a high-paying job in order to pay off their exorbitant law school debt. It is very common for people to enter the legal profession out of a sense that they can make a difference. However, after finding themselves in a huge firm (the only one that can pay them what they need to pay off their college debts), they often find themselves unfulfilled in the low-end work to which they are assigned, and trying to cope with the tremendous amount of billable hours often required of young associates. Oak Brook College avoids this by keeping our costs low, thus allowing the student to focus on the calling given to them by God instead of having to focus the first years of their practice on paying school debts.
