Classroom space has also been recently converted into state-of-the-art teaching courtrooms that provide a dynamic and modern training ground for 1st STEP students. 1st STEP students hone their skills through practical exercises and receive valuable feedback throughout the program. The program is designed to improve advocacy skills through both experiential training and traditional doctrinal coursework.
GGU Law’s innovative Summer Trial and Evidence Program, or 1st STEP, is an integrated, nine-week summer litigation program for aspiring courtroom advocates. Before graduating, HLP students complete a second apprenticeship and have the option to enroll in additional practice-based courses. In the spring of their second year, participants return to full-time classes with a new appreciation for the practice of law. HLP students may apprentice in private law firms, courts, government agencies, or public interest organizations in the Bay Area or anywhere in the world. Participants then transition into a full-time apprenticeship in the fall semester of their second year. These students attend a regular first-year curriculum, then participate in an intensive skills-focused summer session during which they assist real clients with real problems. Honors Lawyering ProgramĮach year, GGU Law selects a small group of highly qualified students for the Honors Lawyering Program (HLP). Students focusing on courtroom advocacy may participate in the Summer Trial and Evidence Program (1st STEP), an intensive litigation “boot camp,” the summer after their first year. The law school also offers an enhanced curriculum through its prestigious Honors Lawyering Program. First-year students enhance their practical lawyering skills through a practice-based elective in the spring. GGU Law’s JD program includes both a three-year, full-time day program and a four-year, part-time evening program. The law school is fully ABA-accredited and is a member in good standing of the AALS.
The law school’s distinguished faculty share a strong commitment to both excellence in teaching and accessibility to students. GGU Law is noted for its long tradition of integrating the study of legal theory with practical skills training. Law firms, government agencies, and grassroots advocacy organizations surround the law school’s downtown campus. Founded in 1901, Golden Gate University School of Law is located in the heart of San Francisco’s emerging entrepreneurial and hi-tech district.
