Western Sierra Law School (WSLS) is a private, independent and non-sectarian postsecondary degree-granting institution located in San Diego, California.
State Bar registration
The law school is registered with the Committee of Bar Examiners[2] of the State Bar of California. It is not approved by the American Bar Association (ABA)[3] or accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners (CBE). Students at Western Sierra must take and pass the First-Year Law Students' Examination ("Baby Bar") after the first year of law study. Passing the "Baby Bar" means students are eligible to take more advanced law courses to achieve their J.D. degree.
Graduates of the school meet the legal education qualifications to take the California Bar Examination. When they pass the Bar, they may be licensed to practice law in the State of California.
