Founding and accreditation
Liberty University Law was founded in 2004 and is provisionally accredited by the American Bar Association. Provision Accreditation is the highest level of accreditation available at present; full accreditation cannot be granted until a school has been in operation for five years. Students graduating from a provisionally accredited law school enjoy the full rights guaranteed to fully accredited schools.[1]
Curriculum
The school offers litigation tracks in civil law, criminal law or constitutional law. It offers planning tracks in business planning, estate planning, real estate development and government administration.[2][3]
Financial aid
The National Jurist in 2008 ranked Liberty third of all American law schools in student financial aid. Its tuition then was $24,000 and it awarded a median grant of $22,000.[4]
Bar passage rate
Liberty University School of Law achieved a 94.4% pass rate on the Virginia Bar Exam in 2008, second in the state to University of Virginia Law School's 96.8%, and in the top 5% of schools nationally.[3]
Founding Principles
The law school's founding Dean, Bruce Green, was committed to providing an excellent legal education and exposing students to natural law--a view of the law grounded in the Western legal tradition. The current Dean is Mathew D. Staver, who is also founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel.[5]
