THOMAS JEFFERSON SCHOOL OF LAW

San Diego, CA

http://www.tjsl.edu

Diversity isn’t an option at Thomas Jefferson School of Law. It’s an ongoing commitment that stems directly from the core values and philosophy of the law school, which are reflected in its mission statement: “The mission of the Thomas Jefferson School of Law is to provide an outstanding legal education for a nationally based, diverse student body in a collegial and supportive environment…”

The result is a vibrant, diverse atmosphere among faculty, students and staff along with thriving student organizations, which reflect the student body diversity: 38% are students of color and 20% are Latino.

The law school is committed to the individual success of every student and provides a richly supportive environment, including an extremely effective academic support program, student support programs and a highly accessible and caring faculty, which is dedicated to student success.

The academic program at Thomas Jefferson School of Law has been carefully designed to ensure that it offers a balanced and comprehensive curriculum that will educate students to practice in any area of the law to which their careers may take them. Yet, it has a distinctive flavor. Rapid technological change and the accompanying process of globalization have transformed most areas of the law while also giving rise to entirely new ones. Because the growth in the Thomas Jefferson faculty has coincided with these trends, the law school has acquired special strengths in the areas of law that most reflect our changing world; that is, those relating to technological change, globalization and the transformation of our social order.

Thomas Jefferson has a highly active La Raza Students Association, a multi-cultural group of law students concerned with issues facing the Latino/a community, school service, and legal scholarship. Members of La Raza perform community service each semester, ranging from staffing youth outreach fairs, serving as mentors to elementary students, and participating in various other community projects throughout San Diego County. La Raza is very active with the San Diego Bar Association and La Raza Lawyers. Such lawyers serve as mentors to each La Raza student, providing guidance, professional advice, and academic assistance. La Raza invites all members to "make a difference” in both their communities and their school.

Thomas Jefferson School of Law is proud to offer several study abroad opportunities for its students and students from other law schools.

The Summer International Law Program in Hangzhou, China is in its third year, and TJSL students also are able to study at the Faculte de Droit de l'Universite de Nice, in Nice, France. Exchange programs are also available with several foreign law schools.

San Diego offers an incomparable setting for the study of law. Few other places offer so much potential for both professional development and personal fulfillment. The city is built on a series of hills surrounding the San Diego harbor. The hillsides offer a montage of palm trees and the red tile roofs characteristic of Spanish architecture, while the horizon is dominated by the majestic blue of the Pacific Ocean.

It is truly law school in paradise!
