Thomas
Jefferson School of Law is a private, nonprofit law school located in San Diego, one of the
countryâ??s most desirable cities. The school is accredited by the American Bar
Association and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools. Its
mission is to provide an outstanding legal education for a nationally-based,
diverse student body in a collegial and supportive environment with attention
to emerging new areas of law, particularly those relating to technological
development, globalization and the quest for social justice. A first-rate
faculty, a curriculum that meets real-world demands, a diverse and talented
student body, individualized attention, innovative support programs, and
award-winning competition teams are some of the distinctive features that make
Thomas Jeffersonâ??s legal education program both high quality and cutting-edge.
The
distinguished and dedicated members of the faculty have many years of
experience as attorneys in the private and public sectors. They have
participated in litigation at every level of the judicial system, from
mediation sessions and local trial courts to the United States Supreme Court
and the International Court of Justice. The faculty includes scholars of
national and international reputation whose numerous books and articles are
used in classrooms and law offices throughout the United States and abroad. Their
scholarship consistently ranks among the most frequently downloaded from the
Social Science Research Network (SSRN). Faculty members have testified before
Congress and the California legislature, have
appeared as experts on national and local television and radio news broadcasts,
and have served as legal consultants to the United States government, the
United Nations, and several foreign governments.
U.S.
News & World Report has consistently ranked the Legal Writing Program at Thomas Jefferson
among the top legal writing programs in the nation. In 2008, the annual ranking
put Thomas Jefferson in 25th place, after being ranked 26th the year before.
The law
school offers a balanced and comprehensive curriculum to prepare students to
practice in any of the traditional areas of law, such as business law, family
law, intellectual property, environmental law, civil rights law, civil
litigation, criminal prosecution and criminal defense.
Three
academic centers ensure that students are prepared to practice in cutting-edge
fields and to address new trends that are transforming long established areas
of law.
The Center
for Global Legal Studies prepares students to address the increasingly
international dimension of law practice, as well as to specialize in
international law. Courses include a wide range of international courses,
including international business transactions, World Trade Organization law,
international environmental law, international criminal law, international taxation,
international human rights law, European Union law, and international
intellectual property law. In 2007, the Center inaugurated a summer study program
at Zhejiang University College of Law in Hangzhou,China. Thomas
Jefferson also offers a very popular four-credit summer study program on the
shores of the Mediterranean Sea in beautiful Nice, France.
The Center
for Law, Technology and Communications considers the legal implications of the revolutions
in information, communications and biological technology. Courses include traditional
intellectual property law, cyber law, biotechnology law, technology startups,
telecommunications law, e-commerce, media law, film and motion picture
production law, music licensing law, trademark and unfair competition law,
sports law, entertainment law, celebrity advertising, celebrity representation,
and entertainment law transactions.
The Center
for Law and Social Justice addresses the continuing struggle to define and
preserve the values of liberty and equality in a constantly changing world.
Courses include traditional courses in civil rights, civil liberties, and
international human rights, and courses that address the circumstances of those
whom the law has sometimes treated differently, such as racial and ethnic minorities,
and gays and lesbians.
The
curriculum educates students in both the theory and practice of law. Each year
the law school offers practical skills courses in trial practice, appellate
advocacy, negotiation, mediation and client counseling. To supplement this
classroom instruction, judicial externships and clinical field placement
programs enable students to work for academic credit directly with federal and
state judges and attorneys in public agencies and with selected private law
firms and companies. These include agencies such as the California Attorney
General, San Diegoâ??s
City Attorney and District Attorney, the Federal Defender, the Public Defender,
and the United States Attorney. A public interest law program has been
developed, as well as an Honors Pro Bono program, which rewards students with a
special cord to wear at graduation upon completion of 50 or more pro bono
hours.
The
curriculum is enriched by programs such as the Jefferson Lecture, which has
featured five visits by U.S. Supreme Court Justices in recent years. During
their visits, the Justices also taught a constitutional law class and responded
to questions from students.
Thomas
Jefferson has three new LL.M. (Masters of Laws) programs, two of which will
give students expertise in important areas of international law, and one of
which will help foreign law graduates learn more about American law and obtain
a U.S.
law degree. These new programs in International Tax & Financial Services
(on-line), International Trade & Investment and American Legal Studies for
foreign lawyers reflect Thomas Jeffersonâ??s focus on globalization and its
effect on both traditional areas of international law practice and emerging
fields.
The online
program allows U.S.
and foreign legal and business professionals to conveniently earn an LL.M. or a
J.S.D. degree.
Thomas
Jefferson and San Diego State Universityâ??s
College of Business Administration have created a
new joint Juris Doctor-Master of Business
Administration (JD-MBA) program, which allows students to earn both a law
degree and a masterâ??s in business administration at the same time and in as few
as eight semesters.
Thomas
Jeffersonâ??s collegial and supportive environment is one of its truly
distinguishing features. A few years ago The Princeton Review of The Best
Law Schools ranked Thomas Jefferson fifth in the nation two years in a row
for the quality of life on campus, as measured by the degree of student-faculty
interaction, the sense of community on campus and the lack of competitiveness
among students.
Student
accessibility to the faculty is a top priority. All faculty members are
dedicated classroom teachers who pride themselves on being accessible outside
the classroom. The Career Services Office provides career planning and
assistance in locating professional law-related employment. An outreach team of
top administrators is always available to assist students with concerns and
problems.
Thomas
Jefferson offers a program to help students succeed in law school and on the
bar exam regardless of their backgrounds, learning styles, or LSAT scores. The
program effectively integrates cognitive science, cognitive psychology, and
learning theory into the law school curriculum through a series of weekly
skills-development workshops. It helps first-year law students understand their
own cognitive process and how to use their unique individual talents to get the
most out of their legal education. An intensive bar preparation program also
helps prepare graduating students for taking the bar exam.
A flexible
curriculum helps students tailor their schedules to their particular needs.
Students may begin classes in January or August, attend the three-year,
full-time program or the four-year, part-time program, and accelerate
graduation one semester by taking additional classes during the summer. Day and
evening classes are offered.
Many
students enhance their legal education by participating in extracurricular
activities, such as the Thomas Jefferson Law Review and the Moot Court, Mock
Trial and Alternative Dispute Resolution programs. Thomas Jefferson students
hone their law practice skills on these three highly successful teams by
competing against law students across the country. In recent years, students
have competed from New York City to Honolulu, winning numerous
individual and team honors. In 2008, a Thomas Jefferson student was recognized
as an outstanding oralist at the ABA Regionals and,
at the Duberstein Bankruptcy Moot Court Competition, Thomas Jefferson was
recognized for an outstanding brief.
In 2007
the Thomas Jefferson Moot Court
team won the prestigious Roger J. Traynor trophy as
the top oral argument team during the annual competition. The Thomas Jefferson
team bested teams from 12 other California
law schools to take home the coveted trophy. A Thomas Jefferson
team also won the trophy a decade earlier in 1997.
During the
2005-2006 school year, the Thomas Jefferson Mock Trial
team won the ABA Employment Law Division Mock Trial Competition and placed
second in both the National Criminal Justice Trial Advocacy Competition and the
Texas Young Lawyers Association West Coast Region Trial Competition.
A Thomas Jefferson Moot Court team in 2006 once again won the
prize for the Best Memorial (brief) in English at the Annual Inter-American
Human Rights Moot Court Competition in Washington,D.C., marking the third time in
four years that a Thomas Jefferson team has won in that category.
In 2008, a
team from Thomas Jefferson reached the final four of the California State Bar
Environmental Negotiation, marking the fifth time in seven years Thomas
Jefferson teams have reached the final four, winning twice and placing second
twice.
Three
Alternative Dispute Resolution teams from Thomas Jefferson took first, second,
and sixth place at the American Bar Association Western Regional Negotiation
Competition in 2006. The top two Thomas Jefferson teams went on to the national
competition in Chicago,
capturing fourth and fifth place. A Thomas Jefferson student also was the
highest-ranking woman in that competition.
The large
number of student organizations on campus annually reflects a wide range of
student interests and offers valuable networking opportunities with
professional law organizations.ÂEach
student organization has a faculty advisor.
A significant
number of the nearly 800 students enrolled at Thomas Jefferson are second
career students. These students have included physicians, nurses, law
enforcement officers, real estate and stock brokers, engineers, accountants and
administrators, among others, who bring a wealth of professional and personal
experience to the classroom. Due to Thomas Jeffersonâ??s growing national and
international reputation, nearly half of the fall entering class typically comes
from outside California,
representing about 40 states and several foreign countries. The student body
also is racially and ethnically diverse, with about 46 percent of the fall 2007
entering class representing members of racial or ethnic minority groups.
The law
school is extremely proud of its more than 5,500 alumni, who include partners
in major law firms, numerous judges, the District Attorney of San Diego, a
member of the United States Congress, the former general manager of the Houston
Astros, who is now the COO of Minor League Baseball, and a past president of
the State Bar of California. The schoolâ??s Alumni Relations Office encourages
networking between the students and the alumni through various activities,
including an alumni association mentor program and continuing education programs.
The law
school is mainly housed in two modern buildings in the historic Old Town
section of San Diego.
In addition to the Law Library Building
and the CourtyardBuilding, there also is an
adjacent administrative building. The campus is near the courthouses, law
offices and corporate headquarters, which span the downtown San Diego skyline. A new, state-of-the-art campus
in the East Village area of Downtown San Diego is
scheduled to open in the 2010-2011 academic year. The eight-story campus, to be
built to sustainable standards, will offer twice the space of the current
campus and be within walking distance to the courthouses.
One of the
benefits of attending Thomas Jefferson School of Law is the opportunity to
study law in beautiful San Diego,Americaâ??s
eighth largest city. Bordered on the west by 70 miles of glistening Pacific
Ocean beaches, San Diego
can boast of a near perfect climate and an array of spectacular scenery to be
enjoyed year round. Fabulous white sand beaches and bays offering water sports,
hiking trails, running and biking paths, and playgrounds are within minutes of campus.
A short distance to the east are majestic mountains
and deserts, admired by residents and visitors alike. Other popular attractions
include the world-famous San Diego Zoo and Wild
Animal Park,
Sea World, BalboaPark with its acclaimed
museums and landscaping, early Spanish settlements and missions, an active
theater and nightclub scene and professional sporting events. The Student
Services Office is available to assist students with housing options near campus
and throughout the San Diego
area.
In
addition to its seemingly endless selection of physical, cultural, and
recreational attractions, San Diego
also provides an abundance of professional opportunities for Thomas Jefferson
students and alumni. Legal services are one of San Diegoâ??s most prosperous industries,
particularly in the area of intellectual property.
