The vision of OBCL, ultimately, is to prepare attorneys and paralegals who excel in their profession and are committed to living out their Christian faith. This goal goes beyond academic performance and extends to moral character, professional skills, and business practices. OBCL believes that all aspects of a person’s life should be surrendered to the lordship of Jesus Christ and one’s work is an act of service to Him and others. Because of this, OBCL’s curriculum challenges students to examine what it means to live a Christ-centered life as an attorney.

A student’s education is most effective when it is most efficient. OBCL’s online structure and support network provides students with the tools to tailor their method of study to be the most effective for them. Students are best equipped when they are given the tools and training to research, analyze, and be self-reliant learners. OBCL emphasizes diligence and ingenuity, learning how to think and how to learn, rather than simply accumulating facts.

Many people recognize that no amount of academic work can substitute for life experience and hands-on, practical training. The structure of OBCL’s programs allow for students to have full flexibility to tailor their study hours and methodology to pursue internships, apprenticeships, work, and additional training. It is vital students graduate and enter their profession having already bridged the gap between academic knowledge and real-world experience. No degree is capable of substituting for a well-rounded resume, substantial experience, and professional contacts, three things OBCL’s online academic model is designed to facilitate.
