Founded on the principle that education in law should exist for all people from all walks of life, Abraham Lincoln University (ALU) was founded in 1996 as one of California's first online law schools. Students are given the opportunity to complete their law school education entirely online through our distance education format. No matter who you are or where you came from, ALU can give you the flexibility and quality education to fulfill your dreams of becoming a lawyer.

At Abraham Lincoln University, we provide legal education for those looking to earn their law degree online, but that's not all we offer. We also provide in-classroom interaction on weekday nights and weekend mornings where students can interact with instructors in person.

ALU delivers a Juris Doctor program that allows you to earn your law degree entirely online. As a result, we have become a pioneer in creating new ways for students to interact and study online. With writing classes, study skills workshops and live chat rooms, all available along with the Juris Doctor program's core courses, ALU can take you the extra mile toward a rewarding career in law.

ALU also offers several other degree programs online in the areas of paralegal studies, criminal justice business, arts and sciences, and information technology. Make your dream become a reality! Contact ALU today for more information about the program that may be right for you!
