Lincoln Law School of Sacramento For more than 50 years, Lincoln Law School of Sacramento has provided a top quality legal education.

Welcome to where the courtroom and the classroom collide, where you will learn from distinguished trial lawyers and judges who bring into the classroom what many law schools lack โ€” real-world experience. So, in addition to legal theory and case studies, you will get a firsthand glimpse of the constantly evolving legal profession in which our faculty live every day. We pride ourselves in having one of the top bar passage rates for California State Bar accredited law schools. In fact, we even surpassed two California ABA-accredited law schools* in July 2012 with a 58% passage rate for our first-time takers. *http://admissions.calbar.ca.gov/Examinations/Statistics.aspx. The mission of Lincoln Law School of Sacramento is to provide an excellent legal education at an affordable cost to qualified applicants. By selecting students based on the total person, with emphasis on life experience, Lincoln Law School aims to provide educational opportunities to a diverse student population. Through an affordable, four-year program, the school strives to meet the special needs of students who may be raising families, working full time, or preparing for a second career. Our graduates include more than 10 California Superior Court Judges. In addition to the California Superior Court Judges, our graduates include the Sacramento County District Attorney, Sacramento County Sheriff, and the General Counsel to the California Highway Patrol โ€“ a sure sign that students who graduate from Lincoln Law School of Sacramento are well prepared to pass the California State Bar Exam and begin their careers practicing law in California and aspiring to new heights. In recognition of the integrity of our educational program, the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California granted Lincoln Law School of Sacramento accreditation in 1978. To become accredited, a law school must establish that its paramount objective is to provide a sound legal education.

Lincoln Law School faculty gathered in Santa Cruz for our annual faculty conference, and it was a good reminder of what makes this place special: the people!

We spent the weekend together talking about where our school is headed, sharing program updates, and swapping ideas on how to keep giving our students the best possible legal education.

Plenty of good conversation, a few ocean views, and a lot of shared commitment to the students who make it all worthwhile ๐ŸŒŠ

Thank you to our amazing faculty for the time, the energy, and the heart you bring to Lincoln Law School every single day.

On Saturday night, friends, colleagues, alumni, and former students gathered in East Sacramento to honor Professor Linda Parisi on her retirement from Lincoln Law School.

Linda is a Lincoln Law School graduate herself and went on to build a career as one of Sacramentoโ€™s most respected criminal defense trial attorneys. For years she brought that courtroom experience into our classrooms, teaching Criminal Procedure and Advanced Criminal Procedure to generation after generation of Lincoln students.

Fellow alumni Chris Wood put it best: โ€œIt was an intimate and warm gathering of what I felt was family.โ€ The speeches from Rob Gold and Jim Smolich captured what so many of us already knew. Linda has given her time, her talent, and her heart to this school and its students, and she never asked for anything in return.

Thank you to Chris and Amy Wood for opening their beautiful home for this event, and to the Lincoln Law School Alumni Association for helping plan a night worthy of a true titan of the Sacramento legal community.

A special thank you to Shannon Young, who went above and beyond. She created photo boards tracing Lindaโ€™s career, presented her with a (very sparkly) award โœจ, and gave a speech that honored just how wonderful Linda has always been with Lincoln Law School and our students.

Linda, thank you for everything. Youโ€™ll always have a special place here at Lincoln. ๐Ÿ’™

Since 1969, Lincoln Law School has been a place for people who want to become lawyers without putting the rest of their lives on hold.

Currently, 364 students are enrolled in our JD program. The youngest is 18 and the oldest is 62, with a median age of 31.

65.7% are women, and 63.7% are racially and ethnically diverse. Many are coming to law school after building a career somewhere else, and they bring that experience into the classroom with them. ๐ŸŽ“

We offer two ways to get through the program. The Hybrid Pathway is 75% online and on your own time, with 25% in person. ๐Ÿ’ป The Onsite Pathway meets three evenings a week, from 6:30 to 9:15 p.m., so you can keep your day job. ๐ŸŒ™

Our 33 faculty members include practicing attorneys and 15 judicial officers. Students are learning from people who see how the law actually works in California courtrooms every day. โš–๏ธ

In terms of costs, tuition and fees at Lincoln Law School are $20,250 a year, compared with $64,420 at a full-time California ABA law school. That is 68% less. ๐Ÿ’ก

The results speak for themselves. More than 1,300 Lincoln Law School graduates have been admitted to the California State Bar, and our five-year cumulative bar passage rate is 81.4%. ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

If you have been thinking about law school and wondering whether you can make it work, we are happy to talk it through with you.
