Oak Book College of Law

Oak Brook College of Law and Government Policy was incorporated in 1994. From its inception, the purpose of Oak Brook College has been to prepare its students for service in the areas of law and government policy. Oak Brook College desires to instill in its students a perspective of law and government policy rooted in the truths and principles articulated in this nation's charter, the Declaration of Independence. This perspective includes the historical and biblical foundations of law and their application to current legal and political issues. Students are challenged to learn the legal skills, to develop the requisite character, and to gain Godly wisdom necessary to serve their clients and to have a positive impact on culture.

Oak Brook College of Law held the Orientation for its first class of 47 students in April of 1995 in Dallas, Texas. Since then over 200 law students have graduated from Oak Brook College of Law. Oak Brook College students have consistently had a higher pass rate on the California First-Year-Law Students' Examination and its graduates have had an overall passage rate on the California Bar Exam that is higher than comparable law schools in California.

Oak Brook College began with an adjunct faculty of 6 to teach the first year courses, and now has 17 adjunct faculty members who are responsible for the law school courses. Almost all of the faculty are in private practice and integrate their practical skills and perspective into their teaching.

While the College was initially appealing to young people who had been home educated, roughly half of the classes now consist of middle age individuals desiring to advance their career or who are seeking a career change.

In addition to the law school program, Oak Brook College offers a paralegal program that qualifies one to take the Certified Paralegal/Legal Assistant Exam. The Legal Studies program is a modification of the paralegal program to meet individual needs and desires to study only portions of the full paralegal curriculum.
