olden Gate University School of Law is located in the heart of downtown , one of the most beautiful in the world. With the legal financial G on one side and the bustling South of Market Area on the other, the school is within a few minutes' walk of restaurants, shopping, and many attractive downtown plazas. Stu­ dents work at law firms and in judicial and government offices only blocks away. Students at Golden Gate live in many Bay Area communities. BART and San Francisco MUNI stations and the Trans Bay bus terminal, which serves Berkeley, Oakland, Marin, and the peninsula, are a block from the school. Nearby Marin ferries and the Southern Pacific commuter trains make public transportation to Golden Gate one of the best commutes in the Bay Area.

Blessed with a mild climate year round, the Bay Area is one of the most pleasant places in the world to live and work. From the pines and redwoods of the and Marin hills, across the magnificent bridges spanning the Bay, to the art-deco-inspired and shopping centers of San Francisco, the Bay Area is filled with natural beauty and triumphs of the builders' arts. Out­ theatre, opera, ballet, museums, and symphony, chamber music, avant garde, and rock music groups are at home in San Francisco throughout the year. The San Francisco Giants, San Francisco 4gers, Oakland A's, Golden State Warriors, and numer­ ous college teams provide ample entertainment for serious sports fans.

The Bay Area is a few hours' drive from the Reno- ski areas, the , and the Mendocino coast, , and the Carmel-Monterey Bay Area.

2. GOLDEN GATE UNIVERSITY THE UNIVERSITY AND THE SCHOOL OF LAW

olden Gate University is a private, nonprofit institution of higher learning accredited Gby the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The University is a major center for profeSSionally oriented education in the fields of management, business, public administration and law.

The School of Law was founded in 1901 and is one of the oldest law schools in the western United States. It is fully accredit­ ed by the American Bar Association, the Association of American Law Schools, and the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State of California. Its graduates qual­ ify to take the bar in all 50 states and in the District of Columbia.

The school offers a full-time day program and part-time day and evening programs leading to the Doctor of Jurisprudence a.D.) degree. A (LL.M.) degree in taxation and combined degrees are also awarded. Stu­ dents may commence their legal education in August or in January.

~~~~ The school was a pi­ oneer in offering legal education to working adults. Today the stu­ dent body, which num­ bers some 600, is a mix of recent college gradu­ ates and working profes­ sionals. Drawn from more than 100 under­ graduate and graduate institutions, students come from all parts of the country and from many foreign nations. They repre­ sent a wide spectrum of ethnic, economic, cultural, and political backgrounds.

The School of Law shapes its curriculum to meet the diverse career goals and in­ tellectual interests of its students. Ad­ vanced students may choose electives from a broad range of courses or may elect to concentrate in one of several areas of specialization, including Litigation and Dispute Resolution, Real Estate and Prop­ erty Development, Public Interest Law, Corporate/Commercial Law, , Labor Law, and International Law. Ad­ vanced students may earn credit while gaining practical experience by enrolling in one of Golden Gate's well known clin­ ics or externship programs.

Part-time students may transfer to the full-time division at the end of any aca­ demic year.

Mid-Year Admission Program

The School of Law offers a day, evening, and combined Mid-Year Admission Pro­ gram to students and working profession­ als who wish to begin law school in January. Mid-year admittees attend class­ es at a pace best suited to their individual needs. Usually, day students complete law school within three years; and evening students, within four. Students graduat­ ing in December qualify for the winter bar examination given in most states in late February.

One of the chief advantages of the Mid­ Year Admission Program is small class size. Since mid-year students attend class­ es during their first semester with only other mid-year students, class size usually ranges from 12 to 40. Students benefit from the individualized attention they re­ During the summer of 1990, Fred Taylor worked as an associate with Baker & McKenzie, ceive and from the cooperative atmo­ the largest multinational law firm in the world. sphere the small class size cultivates.

Classes are therefore quite lively and involve a high level of student participation. Participants read actual judicial opinions and advocate positions on behalf of "clients." In addition, participants learn and practice law­ yering skills, including interviewing, counsel­ ing, negotiation, and dispute resolution. At the conclusion of the program, participants have an opportunity to take a typical law school examination, which is critiqued and returned to the student.

Students also learn about the law school admissions process, financial aid options, employment opportuni­ ties, and the personal and social con­ cerns of law students. Students meet informally with attorneys working in a wide variety of legal fields. At the end of the program, students receive a Cer­ tificate of Completion.

The interest rate for new borrowers is 8 percent through the fourth year of repayment. Interest increas­ es to 10 percent beginning with the fifth year of repayment. Repayment may be made in minimum amounts over a ten­ year period. Repayments begin six months after the student graduates or ceases to be enrolled at least half-time, whichever comes first. Students should anticipate an application processing time of up to three and a half months.

Loans are disbursed in two equal checks: the first at the beginning of the first se­ mester or session of the loan period and the second at the beginning of the second semester or session of the loan period. A new borrower must attend a loan coun­ seling interview before his/her Stafford Loan check may be released.
