The Birmingham School of Law was founded when Judge Hugh A. Locke began tutoring young men for the bar admission test in 1915. Judge Locke was a prominent attorney, Judge of the Chancery Court, and President of the Birmingham Bar Association. As the number of young men grew, classes began to meet at Birmingham Southern College, where Judge Locke was a Trustee for 55 years.

Since 1915,the Birmingham School of Law has been offering a high quality affordable legal education to individuals who choose not to attend a traditional law school for financial, family or occupational reasons. Birmingham School of Law presents a unique opportunity for self-disciplined individuals to earn a law degree at night, while continuing their careers.

 

Birmingham School of Law has an outstanding faculty of practicing attorneys and judges. Students' learning experiences are dramatically enhanced by their professors' practical knowledge of the law and opportunities for "hands-on" training through courses such as Trial Advocacy Skills, Advanced Legal Writing, Legal/Judicial Internships, etc.
