Committee of Bar Examiners (CBE) of the State Bar of California
Our online law degree program is registered with the Committee of Bar Examiners (CBE) of the State Bar of California as an unaccredited distance learning law school. ALU’s authority to grant a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree, which qualifies graduates to take the California Bar Examination and obtain admission to the practice of law in California, is through the Committee of Bar Examiners. ALU students must pass the First-Year Law Students’ Examination (FYLSX) at the end of the first year of law school study. For additional information regarding the law school, including bar passage rates and the Business & Professions Code Section 6061.7(a) Information Report, please visit ALU’s Consumer Information page.
Those who are enrolled in our online law degree program must register as students with the State Bar of California. Registration requires the completion of a form directly on the State Bar’s official website, www.calbar.ca.gov, as well as payment of a registration fee. The registration form must be completed accurately under penalty of perjury. Potential students of the online law degree program may contact the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California.
