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]
Currently, Pacific Coast University School of Law is not accepting new students.[4]
Accreditation
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.[5][6]
As a result, although PCU graduates were able to sit for the California Bar Exam during accreditation (and now if they first pass the First-Year Law Students' Examination), they are generally ineligible to practice law in other states.
