Abraham Lincoln University School of Law

Abraham Lincoln University (ALU) is a private, for-profit online university based in Glendale, California. ALU was founded in 1996 by Hyung J. Park, a tax attorney and graduate of Loyola Law School. Park named his school after Abraham Lincoln partly because Lincoln had taught himself law.

ALU's School of Law is registered with the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California in the unaccredited distance-learning school category, but is not accredited by the American Bar Association. As such, its graduates are eligible to sit for the bar exam only in California, and are required to pass the First-Year Law Students' Examination to qualify. In addition to its law school curriculum, ALU offers diplomas, certificates, and undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees in business administration, criminal justice, general studies, law, and legal studies.
