ABA Approved Since 1998

Founded in 1861, Chapman University is one of the oldest, most prestigious private universities in California. Chapman University traces its roots to Hesperian College, opened at the very hour of Abraham Lincolnâ??s inauguration as the 16th U.S. president. Chapman University announced the establishment of a new law school in September 1994 and in 1999, a permanent new law school building was completed. Chapman University School of Law was granted full approval by the ABA in August 2002 and The Association of American Law Schools granted membership in January 2006.

The principal building, rising four stories and providing 133,000 square feet of floor space, offers an efficient and pleasant learning environment for students. Classrooms and seminar rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art technology for enhanced teaching and learning, and are capable of accommodating future changes in electronic, visual and on-site learning. Walk through Chapman University School of Lawâ??s Kennedy Hall and you are likely to hear a 9 buzz 9. This is the sound of a dynamic learning environment, where people are passionately engaged in their work. The law school building is alive with students and faculty debate, collaborative research, cutting edge symposia, and a sense of mutual purpose: to prepare the next generation of legal practitioners and scholars to become ethical and successful attorneys. The law school has two courtrooms, one designed for trials and the other for appellate hearings, provide fully equipped facilities for trial advocacy exercises, mock trial and moot court competitions, and formal hearings by visiting courts.

The beautiful Rinker Law Library features electronic data retrieval and research facilities and provides comfortable, quiet study areas and computer labs. The library is designed to meet the needs of legal education in the twenty-first century. It features over 40,000 square feet of space, seating for 300 with computer access at each seat, contains 295,000 volumes and volume equivalents. The third floor of the library houses one electronic classroom and a computer lab offering students convenient access to research and word processing programs. The library is open over 100 hours per week.

The law school student body numbers approximately 550 with a recent entering class of 170 for the fall 2009 term. The Schoolof Law has a faculty of sixty, four of whom are former clerks to U.S. Supreme Court justices. Students attending Chapman University School of Law have a wide variety of academic options beyond the core required courses, including a range of electives, multiple advanced degrees, joint degree programs, externships, emphasis programs, study abroad opportunities and academic support.

Admission to Chapman University School of Law is based on many factors and gained by committee approval. The applicantâ??s entire file is considered in the review process.
