About the Law School
The Birmingham School of Law is a state accredited law school located in the Deep South city of Birmingham, Alabama.
Founded in 1915 by Judge Hugh A. Locke, a Judge of the Chancery Court and President of the Birmingham Bar Association, the Birmingham School of Law has been offering a high quality, affordable legal education to individuals who choose not to attend a traditional law school for financial, family, or occupational reasons. Birmingham School of Law presents a unique opportunity for self-disciplined individuals to earn a law degree at night or on Saturday while continuing their careers.
Birmingham School of Law has an outstanding faculty of practicing attorney and judges. Graduates receive the Juris Doctor degree after three or four years of part-time study. Students must take a minimum of three courses each trimester and be matriculated for all three trimesters annually. The law school plans to introduce a Saturday law program beginning with the Fall 2009 trimester where students may earn their law degree in four years completing all required courses each Saturday. The law school also instituted a mandatory bar review and six-hour exit exam in 2007. Classes are held in the historic Frank Nelson Building in downtown Birmingham.
Graduates are eligible to take the Alabama State Bar Examination pursuant to the authority granted by the Alabama Legislature and the Alabama Supreme Court. The school is not seeking accreditation by the American Bar Association.
James J. Bushnell, Jr. is the Dean and Gordon Warren is the Associate Dean.
