Their Director of Admissions is Victoria Ortiz, a woman of color who was formerly a Dean at Boalt Hall School of Law. The Dean is Erwin Chemerinsky, who quite frankly, is one of the best legal minds in the country. Finally, there is no fee to apply. The following is a blurb about their admissions program. "The University of California, Irvine School of Law will open to our first class of students in August 2009. Most of our founding faculty and administrators already are in place for a year of planning that will help ensure an extraordinary experience for our inaugural group of students while building a framework to advance legal education for the 21st century. We have a significant opportunity to transform the approach to teaching and learning in law school-combining the best of established curricular practices with pioneering methods to ensure you are thoroughly prepared for the demands of practice today and in the future. At the University of California, Irvine School of Law, you will have the unprecedented opportunity to gain a top-20-caliber experience at a school on the cutting edge of legal education. We hope you will join us! In spring 2008, incoming Assistant Dean for Student Services Victoria Ortiz met with undergraduates to discuss the new law school. Student body President Mohamed Eldessouky asked the student visual media commission to document the meeting. The student-produced video can be seen here." Click Here To View Application Information |
