School of Law


Founded in 1901, Golden Gate University School of Law was the first Northern California law school with an evening program and is one of the oldest law schools in the Western United States.

The School of Law provides exceptional, practical legal training combined with solid legal theory. Students are challenged to view law not merely as rules to be mastered, but also as social policies to be explored and questioned.


Graduate Law Programs

Effective Fall 2025, admissions to the LLM in Estate Planning and the LLM Dual Degree in Taxation and Estate Planning are paused until further notice.

Law graduates may continue their legal studies by enrolling in one of our LLM programs: taxation and estate planning. Students with an LLM may also earn an SJD (doctorate) in international legal studies through GGU Worldwide.


Our Faculty

Our School of Law faculty shares a strong commitment to both excellence in teaching and accessibility to students. The full-time and adjunct members of the faculty are dedicated to giving their students one of the best legal educations in the country. They are well respected within the legal community and have been trained at the nation’s finest law schools. Their education, real-world legal experience and expert teaching skills prepare students for an exciting, successful career in law.
