Welcome from the Dean
We’re Helping Our Students Make History Every Day
Since we welcomed our first class of students in 1909, San Francisco Law School has dedicated itself to inclusivity and accessibility. While fighting for civil rights for all, we’ve helped women, minority students, and other communities who were categorically excluded from higher education to pursue advanced degrees.
As the oldest evening law school in the Western United States, SFLS paved the way for working adults and parents to pursue a law degree otherwise inaccessible to them. This evening class schedule offered the flexibility that so many needed to become exceptional lawyers.
Sincerely,
Timothy P. Weimer
Dean, San Francisco Law School
Diverse and Inclusive since 1909
Join A Law School That Reflects & Celebrates Its Community’s Diversity
Since our founding, we’ve been committed to nurturing a student body that reflects the diversity of our community and our country. We believe that students from all backgrounds and experiences have a place on our campus and in the legal profession, and we look forward to adding your voice to the conversation.

Your teacher today, your colleague tomorrow—that’s what happens when your professors are leading industry professionals, too. Most of our faculty are practicing attorneys and judges, ready to share their vast knowledge and experience with the next generation of lawyers.
