Mission:
The mission of La Verne Law is to guide our students in the discovery of law and self as they prepare for the practice of law or other professional careers.
Our faculty of scholars and teachers is committed to creating an innovative, collaborative learning environment designed to develop the knowledge and skills relevant to achieving individual and professional success.
Our mission encompasses educating, as well as enhancing the professional lives of, the members of the local, regional, national, and international communities we encounter students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni, members of the bench and bar, and others who pursue social justice.
Our mission is grounded in the core values of the University of La Verne life-long learning, ethical reasoning and decision-making, diversity & inclusivity, and community & civic engagement. Difference-making is our legacy.
Students attending La Verne Law understand their calling: to learn the law and serve their communities through its practice. The College of Law’s Juris Doctor (JD) program helps you work toward this goal through a practice-based curriculum integrating experiential learning and bar preparation and emphasizing the importance of diversity, inclusivity, and community engagement.
Reflecting these values, the College of Law offers full- and part-time structures. Our full-time JD program takes three years to complete. The part-time program covers the same material but is spaced over four years, allowing students to continue working a full-time day job while broadening their knowledge and skill set with a legal education.
La Verne Law acknowledges that each student has their own personal and career goals. Particularly if you envision yourself utilizing your legal knowledge to influence the business world or government, our dual-degree programs let you earn your JD along with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) or Master of Public Administration (MPA) from La Verne’s College of Business and Public Management.
