History
ALU was started by Hyung J. Park, a tax attorney and graduate of Loyola Law School. Classes initially were held in a conference room in his office. His first class had 12 students, including his wife.[7]
Park named his school after Abraham Lincoln partly because Lincoln had taught himself law.[7]
