Welcome to
San Francisco Law School

San Francisco Law School is the oldest evening law school in the western United States. It incorporated in 1909 and has been a non-profit since 1941. Since its inception, San Francisco Law School has been dedicated to providing a quality legal education to its students who, while attending law school, also maintain daytime jobs and family responsibilities.

San Francisco Law School was one of the first in California to actively seek out and enroll women and minority students. The Law School's commitment is ongoing. The student body is made up of mature men and women, representing many different professions and aspirations. This diversity lends a dynamic element to the academic community.

San Francisco Law School strives to maintain an affordable program for its students and, thus, tuition is quite moderate. It is easily accessible for those who work and live in San Francisco and the Bay Area.

San Francisco Law School is proud of its tradition of having practicing attorneys and judges as its faculty. Thus, our students receive the most current information in their courses.

Accreditation

San Francisco Law School has been accredited continuously since 1937 by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California. Graduates of the Law School are eligible to practice law in the State of California upon passage of the California Bar Examination.

"Study at, or graduation from, this law school may not qualify a student to take the bar examination in other states or satisfy the requirements to practice law in other states. If a student intends to seek admission to practice law in a state other than California, the student should contact the admitting authority in that state for information regarding the legal education requirements for admission to practice law."
