For 25 years, until June 1, 2020, it had been an accredited law school. On that Silver Jubilee anniversary, the Chief Justice of California was the Commencement Speaker. The law school has had three Justices of the state High Court as Commencement Speakers. Other jurists include several Presiding Justices of our state appeal courts, the Chief Judge of the U.S, Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and other US Court of Appeals judges, a former U.S. Solicitor General and Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and several county superior court judges. Among its roster of keynote speakers are three State Bar Presidents, a state Attorney General, several state senators and local assemblymembers, the Chair of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, and the President of the International Criminal Court. On October 31, 2017, a State Bar Accreditation Inspection Team Report that included a Chair of the Committee of Bar Examiners found, “[O]verall SCIL’s curriculum, admissions, scholastic standards, faculty, library, facilities, Dean and administrators [are] all compliant in offering students a sound program of legal education.” Prior to the establishment of the Law School there was only one other law school in the entire tri-county of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura. With modest outside investments, small class sizes, and a mission to offer the low-priced accredited legal education in California, the Law School has continually sought to broaden access to legal education, especially to low-moderate socio-economic groups. The campus is located in the high-end professional office district in Ventura directly across the road from the Ventura County Courthouse and Law Library. It is located in a building that was formerly occupied by the state Court of Appeal, Division Six. THE MISSION 101.0 - MISSION STATEMENT The Law School’s primary mission is to provide low-moderate income individuals with an opportunity for a quality legal education. CATALOG 2020-2022 1 LAW SCHOOL CATALOG 2020-2022 The instruction is dedicated to providing students with the knowledge, skills, and ethical values needed for a career in law and law-related fields. This mission is intended to encapsulate the objective of helping to foster a society dedicated to the principles of liberty as reflected in our founding documents. The Law School works to broaden access to legal education by keeping tuition costs affordable, while providing students a curriculum designed to inculcate the highest standards in

  • Introduction

    Introduction

    Introduction I. Structure and Context for the Capacity and Preparatory Review: Whittier College is a small private liberal arts institution, founded in 1887 by members of the Society of Friends. Though the college no longer has any formal association with that society, our identity today is tied closely with our history. Quaker values deriving from that association still influence our ideals and practices. Located on a 75 acre campus seventeen miles east of downtown Los Angeles, Whittier’s primary mission is undergraduate education, but we also offer graduate programs in education. Additionally, like a select group of liberal arts colleges, Whittier has a law school. In 1975, Whittier Law School became part of Whittier College and it is now – with a beautiful stand-alone campus in Costa Mesa - the oldest Law School fully-accredited by the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools in Orange County, California. It offers a full-time day program, a part-time day program, and a part-time evening program leading to the Doctor of Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree. Foreign law students may also earn an LL.M. in U.S. Legal Studies. The School’s strengths include Business Law, Criminal Law, Public Interest Law, Trial and Appellate Law, and the burgeoning fields of Intellectual Property Law, International Law, and Children's Rights. Whittier College’s 2009 Institutional Proposal describes the academic and social principles upon which the college was founded, and the ways that our Mission Statement provides a framework for defining the academic, co- curricular, and administrative elements of the College.

II THE LEGAL PROFESSION IN THE MIDDLE AGES 1 PROCTORS AND ADVOCATES IN THE CIVIL AND THE CANON LAW W E have seen that in Roman law the three functions of V agency or representation in litigation, advocacy, and advice -the functions of procurator or attorney, advocate, and jurisconsult-had become differentiated and had each attained a high degree of development. Also we have seen how by the time of Justinian the jurisconsult had become a law teacher, so that for the future, in continental Europe, the advocate's function and the jurisconsult's function of advis- ing were merged and the term jurisconsult was applied only to teachers and writers. Germanic law brought back into western Europe the ideas of primitive law as to representation in litigation. Parties were required to appear in person and conduct their cases in person except in case of dependents.
