Verity Institute joins with Oak Brook College Of Law to provide “On Campus” Legal Study Opportunities for Law and Paralegal Students
Press Release: Indianapolis, IN (April 20, 2010).
In today’s culture, it is increasingly important to know basic legal terminology and procedures. Not all are called to be lawyers, but everyone can benefit from knowing the Biblical foundations of our legal system, the jurisdictional approach to law, and the source of our rights. Daily activities require all of us to have some knowledge of the law.
Oak Brook College of Law and Government Policy (OBCL) offers different levels of legal study: from the four-year juris doctor (J.D.) degree program for those who want to be licensed attorneys to supplemental material for high school students — all by correspondence. The most practical course of study is the one-year paralegal/legal assistant program by which one can qualify to become a nationally certified legal assistant.
Verity Institute is joining with OBCL to create an “on campus” option for OBCL law and paralegal students. OBCL students will join Verity students in the campus life and Christian discipleship that is such an important part of the Verity program. OBCL students would also have the opportunity to work toward a Bachelor’s degree through Verity while completing their legal studies. Verity students will benefit from the opportunity to take law courses while completing their undergraduate program and from on-campus lectures being planned.
This association between Oak Brook College and Verity Institute will create greater opportunities for students and will advance the goals of both programs. For more information about Verity, visit www.verityinstitute.org; for Oak Brook College see www.obcl.edu.
