Driven by ideals of accessibility and inclusivity, SFLS nurtured two alumni who became the first female judges in their counties. San Francisco Law School proudly provided education to professionals across the legal field.
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. SFLS built a legacy on that original declaration, committed to offering high-quality legal education regardless of gender identity, race, or socioeconomic status. SFLS campuses welcomed women, working parents, mid-career adults, and minority students into a program that didn’t previously exist for them.
At SFLS, forward-thinking leaders were the rule, not the exception.
Recognition for Impact
San Francisco Law School was honored to receive awards and accolades for its work as an educational institution. These spoke to the dedication of SFLS faculty and students in creating a learning environment in which they could all take pride.
