Southwestern Law School Summary

The Southwestern University School of Law (also known as Southwestern Law School) is a private ABA-accredited law school located in Los Angeles, California, with about 1000 students at a campus that includes the Bullocks Wilshire building, an admired art-deco landmark. Southwestern University School of Law was founded on November 25, 1911 as the Southwestern College of Law. The school is one of the oldest law schools in the state of California and the second oldest law school in Los Angeles. The Great Depression and Second World War took a severe toll on the school’s enrollment, and by the end of the 1930s the law school was the only school that remained. However, as veterans returned home the school experienced a surge of interest, and by 1972 the decision was made to move to the school’s current location on Westmoreland Avenue in the Wilshire Center area of Los Angeles. In 1994, Southwestern acquired the adjacent Bullocks Wilshire building, an historic landmark which was subsequently renovated to house the school’s law library, classrooms, and faculty offices. As part of the new program, the first week of school is dedicated completely to the new LAWS program (Legal Analysis, Writing, and Skills). Due to its status as a leading U.S. institution in advocacy and skills training with extensive Latin American programs, Southwestern has been awarded a federal grant to train Mexican lawyers and law faculty in advocacy skills as part of a USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) effort to assist Mexican legal reforms. Southwestern University School of Law has no on-campus housing, so the student body is composed entirely of commuters.
