Welcome to Concord Law School's website. Since 1998, Concord has been the leader in the development of online law school programs that are comprehensive, challenging, accessible, and affordable.

As we approach our 10th anniversary, I am pleased to announce that Concord is now Concord Law School of Kaplan University. Concord has always been a member of the Kaplan family. The formal merger of Concord into Kaplan University in the fall of 2007 not only makes Concord the first online law school to be part of a regionally accredited institution of higher learning, but it reflects the continuing maturation and progress of Concord's program. 

We have a lot to offer law students. This website provides a good introduction to our Juris Doctor and Executive Juris DoctorSM degree programs, our faculty, and our innovative approach to legal education. If our program might work for you, please complete the request for information at the Apply button, and one of our Admissions Advisors will contact you.

Concord also has a lot to offer legal education, higher education in general, and the legal profession. We are demonstrating every day that rigorous, interactive, broad, and deep professional education can be delivered in the online environment.  Read More
