Program Diplome Prava: Juris Doctor (JD)

The JD - Juris Doctor is a professional law degree. It is the degree that most law students must attain to entitle them to take a bar examination and, upon passing, become a licensed attorney. The School of Law offers a four-year, part-time, JD Program, a non-accredited Law School. This program allows students to continue to work full-time while they attend law school. The JD degree is a traditional law school program designed to prepare students for entry into the legal field, particularly the practice of law in California and within the Federal Court System. This program allows students to receive comprehensive instruction beginning with Contracts, Tort, and Criminal Law. Upon completing the First-Year Law Students' Exam (FYLSX), it continues through intermediate and upper- level legal topics. The School of Law program's main objective is to provide students with a strong background in the legal profession in becoming a successful attorney. Students who are enrolled in the JD program and complete the first year of law study must pass the First-Year Law Students' Examination required by Business and Professions Code § 6060(h) and Rule VIII of the Rules Regulating Admission to Practice Law in California as part of the requirements to qualify to take the California Bar Examination. A student who passes the First-Year Law Students' Examination within three (3) administrations of the examination after first becoming eligible to take it will receive credit for all legal studies completed to the time the examination is passed. A student who does not pass the examination within three (3) administrations of the examination after first becoming eligible to take it must be promptly disqualified from the law school's JD degree program. If the dismissed student subsequently passes the examination, the student is eligible for re-enrollment into the program but will receive credit for only one year of legal study.

American Heritage University School of Law (AHUSOL) was established with the adult learner's interest in mind that could not complete an educational goal due to unforeseen circumstances. AHUSOL stands out as one of the few reputable distance learning law schools in California for its passage rates on the First Year Law School Examination (FYLSX) and General Bar Examination (GBE) in recent years.

Our online law degree programs enable students to study and practice law utilizing modern technology, and we also prepare our students to secure employment upon completion of their programs. The cost of completing the four-year program at AHUSOL provides a unique opportunity for students to become free from huge financial debt after law school. AHUSOL sacrificially accepts low tuition to make a dream come true for ordinary law school students to get a Juris Doctor degree and practice law in California with their counterparts in the ABA schools or earn a promotion at an existing law-related career.
