2024 marks the Law School's 100th Anniversary. Since the Law School's humble beginnings as a one-room, night school, McGeorge has grown and earned worldwide renown by providing a distinctive legal education rooted in a commitment to academic excellence, intellectual curiosity, and experiential learning. The Law School offers a curriculum that is responsive to the rapid and structural changes to legal practice and is focused on providing an education that meets the needs of today's students pursuing advanced degrees.
