Welcome to the University of La Verne College of Law, Inland Southern California’s only American Bar Association-approved law school. Choosing the right law school will be one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Law school is a big investment of time and money, so it’s important that you invest in a school that’s right for you.
At ULV College of Law, we are committed to your success. We offer several programs of legal education to fit your personal needs, including a full-time day program and a part-time evening program. We are also one of the few California law schools offering a Spring enrollment option, suitable for those who refuse to put their dreams on hold.
Located in the heart of a rich and diverse Southern California community, our intimate learning environment helps student maximize their potential. Our curriculum is rigorous, but our small class sizes enable our faculty to provide students with the instruction they need to understand difficult legal concepts. In addition, our extensive law library offers supplemental resources both in print and online so students can further research their personal areas of interest.
Our diverse faculty has expertise in a variety of legal disciplines. Most of our professors have practiced extensively in their subject areas prior to joining our faculty. Many have active research agendas and publish frequently in their teaching areas. All have highly successful track records and are committed to helping students prepare for entry into the legal profession.
Outside the classroom, our students receive support from both faculty and staff. We offer academic support through a Peer Assistance and Support System, a Graduate Mentor Program, and a variety of academic support workshops designed to help students successfully navigate their courses. In addition, our faculty is available to meet with students who are experiencing trouble adjusting to the study of law or who just want some advice.
Our support, however, doesn’t stop when you graduate. We believe in keeping our alumni connected with the College of Law and each other through updates, e-mails, events, and continuing legal education opportunities. We have been educating future attorneys since 1970 and our alumni are found in private practice, the public sector, businesses, and on the bench. We continually offer networking opportunities, so important to professional success.
I invite you to learn more about our program by browsing our Web site. You will see that this is a very exciting time for us as we prepare to apply for full ABA approval. We have recently started two new live-client clinics: the Disability Rights Legal Center and the Justice and Immigration Clinic, which, along with our active externship program, enhance the experiential learning of our students. Our law review is expanding into a two-journal format starting with the 2008-09 academic year and will provide even more opportunities for students to participate on law review.
At the University of La Verne College of Law, we offer everything you need to successfully prepare for a rewarding legal career. If a legal education with a personalized touch interests you, we invite you to take a closer look. Stop by our campus or give us a call. Your success is our success. That’s why we’re here.
Sincerely,
