Oak Brook College of Law and Government Policy is a correspondence law school in Fresno, California.[1] It is not accredited but is registered with the State Bar of California and authorized to grant the degree of Juris Doctor.[2][3] Graduates are therefore able to take the bar exam in California but may not be able to do so in other states.[4] It was started in 1994 to "train individuals who desire to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ through service as advocates of truth, counselors of reconciliation, and ministers of justice in the fields of law and government policy."[5]
