Correspondence law school
A correspondence law school is a school that offers legal education by distance education, either by correspondence or online by use of the internet, or a combination thereof.
Distance legal education in Germany is available through FernUniversität Hagen, a public university similar to the British Open University. The graduates receive LLB or LLM degrees. Specialized LLB degrees in business law are available through five universities of applied sciences: Hamburger Fernhochschule, Fachhochschule Nordhessen, Europäische Fernhochschule Hamburg, Fachhochschule Südwestfalen, and Hochschule Niederrhein.
Distance legal education is an acceptable method to become a lawyer in South Africa, and is available through the University of South Africa (UNISA).
Distance legal education in the United Kingdom is accepted by the Law Society of England and Wales as a qualifying law degree and one of the possible ways to become a solicitor or a barrister. Several institutions offer basic legal education leading to the LLB degree, the oldest of which is the University of London External System. Numerous universities in the UK offer LLB degrees through distance education today, including the Open University.
In other countries influenced by the British legal heritage, legal education can be obtained through distance education, including Australia.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, online law schools were uncommon outside of California. In 2015, Mitchell Hamline School of Law was the first "ABA-approved law school to receive an ABA variance to offer a half on-campus/half online JD program." In 2018, Syracuse University College of Law was given approval by the ABA to conduct a JD program that was mostly online.
As of 2025, 20 ABA accredited law schools have JD programs with at least a 50 percent online component, with 7 of those programs listed as fully online. The others have residencies ranging from a few days a year to in-person sessions on weekends.
Law school study by correspondence has existed in the United States since 1890 when Sprague Correspondence School of Law was established by William C. Sprague in Detroit, Michigan. It eventually merged with Blackstone Institute, and later was known as Blackstone School of Law. Among the school’s early graduates was Antoinette D. Leach, first woman attorney in Indiana, who in 1893 became the first woman admitted by the Indiana Supreme Court to practice law in Indiana.
