Calling all future lawyers
Concordia University School of Law is a new breed of law school for a new generation of lawyers. We are a 21st century law school designed from the ground up to help you succeed – on the bar exam and throughout your career.
Here are a few reasons why Concordia Law is worth your consideration:
Affordable tuition. The average tuition here is $19,000 per year, putting all the benefits of a private law school within reach.
Generous scholarships. Merit-based scholarships range from $3,000 to $14,000 each year and are based on prior academic excellence and potential for success – as indicated by your LSAT results and undergraduate GPA. These scholarships are automatically renewable each year you’re enrolled at Concordia Law.
Idaho State Bar passage. In February 2018, Concordia Law students achieved a pass rate of 90.9% (88.9% for first-time bar takers) – more than 21 percentage points higher than the Idaho state average of 69.4%. In July 2017, the Idaho State Bar numbers were nearly identical, with an overall pass rate of 90.9% (90% for first-time bar takers), well above the state average of 76.2%.
Guaranteed grant. Every full-time student receives a service grant of $5,000 per year. Part-time students receive the same grant, pro-rated over four years.
Idaho resident grant. Eligible Idaho residents never pay more than $19,000 per year through our Idaho Resident Grant.*
Mentorship program. This unique program pairs our law students with an attorney or judge who serves as a mentor – someone who knows what you’re experiencing and can provide insight, knowledge, and advice, not to mention real-world, on-the-job training.
Location, location, location. Our campus is in the heart of Boise's legal community, within walking distance of Idaho's federal court, Supreme Court, State Capitol, and key law firms. And Boise is known for its high quality of life and lower cost of living.
Concordia is a Christian university preparing leaders for the transformation of society. For Concordia Law, that means helping our students become positive agents of change, ready to provide service to a society in desperate need of affordable legal services. We hope you're up to the challenge, and we welcome your questions and application.
*The Idaho Resident Grant is based on a schedule of 30 credits and is not available to students who are admitted to Concordia University School of Law through a pre-admission program, such as the Admission by Performance (ABP) program. For the purposes of the Idaho Resident Grant, an applicant's residency is determined and set at the time of initial application to Concordia University School of Law.
