San Francisco
Law School

SFLS has been making legal education accessible and affordable for more than 100 years.

Empowering Leaders in Law Since 1909

From our founding, San Francisco Law School alumni have gone on to become leaders and role models in the legal field. With the skills learned at SFLS, our students have created meaningful change in their communities and across the country.

Our legacy of leadership is exemplified by our alumni’s accomplishments. From our early years to today, graduates have held respected professional roles including the head of the National Litigators Association, the head of the American Litigator Association, and even Governor of California.

With our emphasis on accessibility and inclusivity, we’ve nurtured also two of our alumni who became the first female judges in their counties. San Francisco Law School is proud to have provided an 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. 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.

Our Legacy Continues to This Day

SFLS alumni go on to make lasting change in their communities, driven by ideals of accessibility and inclusivity within the legal system.
