Lincoln Law School of Sacramento


Lincoln Law School of Sacramento is a private, for-profit law school in Sacramento, California. The school offers an evening-only, four-year juris doctor degree program.

Accreditation and bar passage rate

Lincoln Law School received accreditation from the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California in 1978.
The law school is not accredited by the American Bar Association, since the ABA only accredits law schools that have a full-time program and Lincoln has always been a part-time evening law school. As a result, Lincoln graduates generally do not qualify to take the bar exam and join the bar of states other than California without first passing the California bar exam.
Of the 41 Lincoln graduates who took the California bar exam for the first time in July 2019, fourteen passed, for a 34% passage rate, vs. a 60.7% overall pass rate.
