Concord Law School is the first institution to offer a Juris Doctor (JD) degree earned wholly online via state-of-the-art technology. Since opening in the fall of 1998, Concord has pioneered the delivery of high quality legal education on the Internet. The school serves working professionals, family caretakers, and others whose circumstances may prevent them from pursuing a legal education at a fixed facility law school. The typical student is in his or her mid-career with an undergraduate GPA of 3.0. More than 1,800 students are currently enrolled at Concord, including alumni of such prestigious universities as Columbia, Harvard, Yale, MIT, the University of California at Berkeley, Duke, and the University of Chicago.
