Studying at, or graduating from, this law school may not qualify a student to take the bar examination or be admitted to practice law in jurisdictions other than California.

JFK School of Law at National University makes no promise or guarantee that a student who completes the Juris Doctor degree will be licensed or admitted to practice law in California or any other State. Individual States have their own specific requirements for sitting for the bar exam, including, but not limited to an individual’s history and character to pass the Character review. Further, some States do not acknowledge CalBar approval as qualifying a student to take the Bar admission.
