On
behalf of the University of California Hastings College of the Law,
welcome to the Admissions website. The information contained within our
site is designed to provide facts about UC Hastings and answer general
questions regarding admissions. If you are in the Bay Area or planning a
trip to San Francisco during the school year, we encourage you to visit
a first-year class and take a student-guided tour. UC
Hastings’ central location and its strong community links to many of
the Bay Area’s multicultural neighborhoods offer students an
educational experience which is virtually unlimited in its breadth and
diversity. Judicial externships, five law concentrations, clinical
programs, concurrent degree programs, study abroad programs, law
journals, and a strong alumni network help provide students with a range
of opportunities within the legal community. A goal
of the general admissions selection process is to identify and enroll
individuals who will flourish in the College’s rigorous and
multifaceted academic program. A
variety of factors such as work experience, extracurricular and
community service activities, academic preparedness, and standardized
testing results will all be considered when evaluating an applicant’s
file. In
addition to its general admissions process, UC Hastings offers admission
through its Legal Education Opportunity Program.
In considering applicants, the LEOP Admissions Committee reviews
a variety of factors, recognizing that traditional academic indicators
alone might not be sufficient to assess the academic potential of
students from nontraditional backgrounds. For more information about
LEOP click here. When applying for first
year admission, applicants have two choices:
LEOP applicants may
apply either EDO or regular admissions. If you
require additional information or clarification, please email us at
or phone (415) 565-4623. Thank you for your interest in UC Hastings. We
look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Akira Shiroma Director of Admissions
