The Liberty University School of Law is the law school of Liberty University, a private university located in Lynchburg, Virginia. 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. The school currently offers tracks in civil, criminal and constitutional litigation, as well as business planning, estate planning, real estate development and government administration. [1] It is ranked third in the nation in terms of grants and scholarships per tuition by The National Jurist.[2]
Bar Passage Rate
Liberty University School of Law now ranks No. 2 in the state for passage rates on the Virginia Bar Exam. At 94.4%, Liberty is just behind the University of Virginia (96.8). This ranking should now put the school in the top 5% of schools nationally when it comes to bar passage rate.
Founding Principles
The law school's founding Dean, Bruce Green, was committed to providing an excellent legal education and exposing students to the natural law--an objective 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.[3]
