Opportunity for All, From the Beginning

In 1905, the soon-to-be founders of San Francisco Law School wrote a letter declaring that the opportunity for a law degree must be made available to all. We’ve built a legacy on that original declaration, committed to offering high-quality legal education regardless of gender identity, race, or socioeconomic status. Our campuses actively welcome women, working parents, mid-career adults, and minority students into a program that didn’t previously exist for them.

At SFLS, forward-thinking leaders are the rule, not the exception.
