The Birmingham School of Law is a state-accredited law school located in Birmingham, Alabama.[3] Founded in 1915 by Judge Hugh A. Locke, a judge of the Chancery Court and president of the Birmingham Bar Association, the Birmingham School of Law offers a part-time program of study in which graduates receive the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree. Birmingham School of Law is not accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA), and has not sought to obtain this accreditation.[4]
