Registration

It used the name Silicon Valley University Law School in its registration with the California Committee of Bar Examiners [nb 1] [4] of the State Bar of California as an unaccredited law school. It is not approved by the American Bar Association. [5] As such, students from USVLS must take and pass the First-Year Law Students' Examination, also known as the "Baby Bar", at the end of their first year in order to receive credit for their first year law study and eventually qualify to sit for the California Bar Examination.
