Oak Brook College students are committed to the self-evident truths articulated by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and they reject the faith of evolution and the religion of secular humanism. Students learn the Biblical foundations of the Common Law and are challenged to make conventional application of these principles to resolve today\u2019s legal and governmental issues.<\/p>\n<p>Oak Brook College trains its students by using innovative distance-learning techniques, seminars, workshops and on-line instruction. The faculty and students pursue Godly wisdom by memorizing and meditating upon God\u2019s word, the Bible, and seek to use this wisdom in resolving conflicts, developing strategies, and implementing policy. As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, Oak Brook College students rely upon the indwelling Holy Spirit to give them the power to develop within them Christ-like character qualities such as meekness, humility, truthfulness, boldness, diligence, initiative and responsibility.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I wonder how many, if any, of its graduates have ever passed the bar exam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This line, about a young anti-choice activist, threw me: Burton has no undergraduate degree but is enrolled in an online law school for home-schoolers, Oak Brook College of Law in Fresno, Calif.
