Pacific Coast University School of Law (Pacific Coast University or PCU School of Law) is an unaccredited private law school in Long Beach, California.[3]

Accreditation

[edit]

The PCU School of Law was accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California from 2010 until its termination on August 20, 2020 due to non-compliance with the minimum California Bar pass rate.[4][5]

As a result, while PCU graduates may sit for the California Bar Exam, and should they pass, join the California Bar, they are generally ineligible to practice law in other states.
