ICLS Awarded Registered Centre Status

In 2011 ICLS was awarded Registered Centre Status by the University of London International Programmes.  ICLS' policies, staff, method of study, financial standing, student performance and commitment were reviewed by the International Programmes.

Tradition

If you have made the decision to earn a University of London law degree, you should know that for over 150 years the University of London International Programmes has been leading the world in offering people like you the opportunity to advance your careers through distance learning.

Recognition

I too earned my University of London International Programmes law degree. My degree was fully recognized by Widener University School of Law in Wilmington, Delaware for purposes of earning my LL.M. (Masters of Law) in Corporate Law & Finance [Widener University School of Law is an American Bar Association (ABA) approved law school].

Shortly after earning my LL.M., I passed the North Carolina State bar examination. Today, in addition to teaching English law for the International Center for Legal Studies, I practice Immigration law, Criminal law, Family law and Civil Litigation in my private legal practice. I practice law not only in North Carolina, but also Massachusetts, several U.S. District Courts, The Cherokee Supreme Court (Eastern Band) and The U.S. Supreme Court.

My distance studies and subsequent legal career are proof that you too can be admitted to the legal profession in the United States (and many other countries) with a University of London International Programmes degree in law.

Academic Support & Assessment

I co-founded ICLS because when I studied for my University of London International Programmes degree, there was a dearth of academic support. I had to make enormous scarifies to earn my law degree, and I always wished there were people who could "teach" and "assess" my work to the University of London examination standard. I found that the challenges of earning a degree under the International Programmes were far more demanding in comparison to my first degree experience at the London School of Economics as a full time student!

When I studied for my English law degree in the United States, I was simultaneously maintaining a full-time career and supporting a family – no small task. I mention this to let you know that if I could do it, you can too; however, I cannot accept credit for my own success. I had a secret; my support network. My wife and children supported my decision  and provided the necessary  foundation for me to complete my studies. You will need familial support, moral support and determination. In the end, your degree will be the culmination of a "team", or "group" effort. I assure you that if you complete the University of London International Programmes law degree you will become transformed and the experience will make you far more qualified compared to the traditional brick and mortar law graduate.

With the advent of the Internet, my vision to deliver  the "London experience" to University of London International Programmes students worldwide, was realized 2001.

Today, ICLS has achieved an enormous first – successfully building the first online and face-to-face law program based in North America for University of London International Programmes students worldwide: utilizing lectures, classes, essay assignments and individualized mentoring essential to maximize each student's learning of the law.
