ICLS Awarded Registered Centre Status

As a result of this review, ICLS was awarded the highest tier - Registered Centre Status.

Tradition

If you’ve 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 via distance learning.

Recognition

I too earned my University of London International Programmes law degree. My University of London 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.

After earning my LL.M., I passed the North Carolina State bar examination and 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 not only in North Carolina, but Massachusetts, several U.S. District Courts, The Cherokee Supreme Court (Eastern Band) and The U.S. Supreme Court.

I am living proof that you 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 very little 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. In fact, the challenges of earning a degree under the International Programmes were far more demanding compared to my first degree experience at the London School of Economics as a full time student!

When I studied for my London degree in the United States, I was maintaining a full time career and supporting a family – not an easy task. I mention this to let you know that if I could do it, you can too.

I cannot, however, accept credit for my success unless I also reveal my secret – my support network. My wife and family were necessary support pillars for me to complete my studies. You will need family support, moral support and determination – in the end, your degree will be the culmination of a "team" or "group" effort. I assure you, if you complete the University of London International Programmes law degree you will be a different person 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 from 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.

Law degree Standard

The University of London law degree is beyond reproach and continues to maintain it’s prestigious reputation worldwide for academic excellence. In fact, according to the recent  Times of London Good  University Guide, the University of London law departments at the London School of Economics (LSE), Kings College and University College (UCL) consistently rank in the top 10 schools of law out of some 85-law departments in the UK. The International Programmes is derived of the very same law departments and the academic standard and quality of the International Programmes is identical since there is only "one" University of London degree.

That is why I co-founded ICLS, and that is why you now have the tools to get the job done.

Applications are now being accepted for 2012-2013 Academic year.  To obtain your ICLS and University of London applications, simply click here.
