Guideline 2.3 (D) of the Guidelines for Unaccredited Law School Rules
provides:
Required Disclosures.
To ensure that prospective students of, applicants to, and students of a law school's
J.D. degree program are fully informed about the requirements and possible limitations associated with attending and graduating from an unaccredited law school, a law school must include the following statements, without alteration, in its bulletin, catalog, website, application for admission, and enrollment agreement for its J.D. degree program:
"The method of instruction at this law school for the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree program is principally in physical classroom facilities."
"Students enrolled in the J.D. degree program at this law school who successfully complete the first year of law study must pass the First-Year Law Students' Examination required by Business and Professions Code ยง 6060(h) and Rule 4.55 of Title 4, Division 1 of the Rules of the State Bar of California (admissions Rules) as part of the requirements to qualify to take the California Bar Examination. A student who passes the First-Year Law Students' Examination within three (3) administrations of the examination after first becoming eligible to take it will receive credit for all legal studies completed to the time the examination is passed. A student who does not pass the examination within three (3) administrations of the examination after first becoming eligible to take it must be promptly disqualified from the law school's J.D. degree program. If the dismissed student subsequently passes the examination, the student is eligible for re-enrollment in this law school's J.D. degree program, but will receive credit for only one year of legal study."
"Study at, or graduation from, this law school may not qualify a student to take the bar examination or to satisfy the requirements for admission to practice in jurisdictions other than California. A student intending to seek admission to practice law in a jurisdiction other than California should contact the admitting authority in that jurisdiction for information regarding the legal education requirements in that jurisdiction for admission to the practice of law."
