Lincoln Law School of Sacramento is a private, for-profit law school in Sacramento, California. The school offers an evening-only, four-year juris doctor degree program.

Accreditation and bar passage rate[]

Lincoln Law School received accreditation from the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California in 1978.[2]

The law school is not accredited by the American Bar Association, since the ABA only accredits law schools that have a full-time program and Lincoln has always been a part-time evening law school. As a result, Lincoln graduates generally do not qualify to take the bar exam and join the bar of states other than California without first passing the California bar exam.[2]

Of the 34 Lincoln graduates who took the California bar exam for the first time in October 2020, 20 passed, for a 59% passage rate, vs. a 74% overall pass rate.[1]

Notable alumni[]

  • Eugene Balonon (Class of 1984), Superior Court of California, Sacramento County
  • Bruce Nestande, California state politician
  • Leonard Padilla (Class of 1980), television commentator, media personality, and bounty hunter
