We provide our students with a solid foundation in legal theory and with the skills necessary for the successful practice of law. The development of skills in legal writing, advocacy, trial technique, counseling, negotiating, and drafting is ac complishedF in class and through our nationally recognized clinical offerings. The ethic we share at Golden Gate is that lawyering is an honorable and valuable profes sion, worthy of the public trust. Accordingly, we seek to instill in our students a sense of responsibility to the profession and to the community. Our location in the financial/legal district of San Francisco permits our upper-division students to serve in clinical placements and externships with major law firms, government agencies, and the judiciary. Because we are within a short walk of major law firms and the courts, we are able to retain as adjunct faculty many of the best legal minds in California. In this way, we maintain the ambiance of a small law school while offering a rich and di verse curriculum usually found only at larger institutions. The Law School faculty is known for its commitment to teaching and its accessibility to students. Combining excellent academic credentials with expertise gained through the prac tice of law, the faculty is uniquely qualified to bring to the classroom a practical dimension often lacking in American legal education. Through legal scholarship, community involve ment, and litigation arising from our clinical programs, faculty members have been instru mental in shaping legal principles affecting business, government, and private citizens. Golden Gate faculty have led in the evolution of the law in such areas as the health rights of institutionalized persons, the property rights of artists, rent control, alternative dispute resolution, land use regulation, commercial transactions, liability insurance, criminal law, and immigration policy. Perhaps the school's greatest strength is I I its students. We attract a diverse and in teresting group of students, drawn from iI, I more than 100 undergraduate and grad uate institutions, and representing a wide spectrum of cultural, ethnic, racial, and professional backgrounds. While main taining rigorous academic standards and demanding a high level of scholarship, the school is supportive of and responsive to students' needs through flexible sched uling and academic assistance programs. By educating the student in an atmo sphere of open and mutually respectful collegiality, we believe our graduate will have the intellectual, emotional, and ethi cal strength to contribute to the profes sion and to the community. p R o G R A M Golden Gate graduates being admitted to the California Bar. olden Gate University School of ceted view of the lawyer.

SCHOOL OF LAW. 5 Combined Degrees: The Law School, in conjunction with the University's College of Business, the Graduate School of Pub lic Administration and the School of Tax ation, offers one of the most extensive combined degrees programs in the na tion. These programs allow a student to pursue simultaneously a law degree and a master's degree in a related field, includ mg: J.D.lM.B.A. Accounting J.D.lM.B.A. Health Services Manage ment J.D.lM.B.A. Real Estate - Metropolitan Development J.D.lM.S. Taxation J.D.lM.B.A. Banking and Finance J.D.lM.B.A. Financial Planning J.D.lM.B.A. International Management J.D.lM.P.A. Public Administration The program is individually designed around the student's area of interest and takes into account his/her educational and occupational background. As some cours es are credited to both the J.D. degree and the master's degree, up to two semes ters of time and expense are saved by pursuing the two degrees concurrently. The student who is interested in the combined degrees program must first ap ply to the Law School; after completing the first semester, the student then ap plies to the appropriate graduate pro gram for the desired combined degree. The student begins the combined portion of the program in the second year of Law School. Personal counseling is available, both in the Law School and the graduate school, when planning a program. Degree Requirements The School of Law offers both full-time and part-time programs leading to the Doctor of Jurisprudence G.D.) degree. The full-time program involves three years of study; the part-time day and eve ning programs take four years to com plete. Requirements for the J.D. degree are: six semesters in residence as a full-time student carrying not less than 10 units each semester, or eight semesters in resi dence as a part-time student carrying not less than 8 units each semester; and the completion of 86 units of study in accord ance with the prescribed curriculum. 6.
