At GGU Law, our city is our classroom. Our downtown San Francisco location—home to courthouses, government buildings, and cultural institutions—places our students in the legal and cultural heart of the city.
Our students are judicial externs and clinic attorneys. They participate in Bar Association events and provide legal services in rural communities. Their impact is felt far beyond campus. The experiences we offer our students, along with our top-notch programs and first-class faculty, have resulted in international acclaim.
At GGU, we offer six LLM programs, an SJD program, and a J-1 Research Scholars program. Our programs enable students to either specialize in a certain area or to qualify to take a bar exam in the United States. Our award-winning LLM in Taxation has received both regional and national recognition.
GGU Law is also nationally regarded for its innovative curriculum focused on practical training and for having one of the most ethnically diverse campuses in the United States.
Our LLM programs offer great flexibility, accepting entering students in the fall (August), spring (January), or summer (May) semester, and allowing students to complete the program on a full- or part-time basis. (SJD students, however, may enter the program only in the fall semester.) The full-time day program usually takes approximately one year, and the part-time program two years.
