Our cutting-edge programs, such as the Institute for Innovation Law and LexLab allow our students to take advantage of our key location in the center of the technology corridor of San Francisco and Silicon Valley.
UC Hastings is located in the center of San Francisco, one of the most beautiful, vibrant, and innovative cities in the nation. This proximity gives UC Hastings students the opportunity to experience the law in the forums where it is practiced and determined, and provides a level of relevancy to their education that is unparalleled in most law schools.
Using the city's extensive public transportation system, students can easily access a variety of San Francisco's most popular tourist attractions, such as Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Oracle Park home of the San Francisco Giants baseball , and Chase Center home of the Golden State Warrior basketball.
Our LLM class is a close-knit group who find social and academic support within their cohort, while creating lasting friendships with their Juris Doctor JD peers. Our LLM students are fully integrated with all of our law students on campus, and take all but two classes together with our JD students.
With over courses offered each year, few other US law schools offer as wide a selection of courses open to LLM and JD students alike, including our hands-on experiential courses and clinics. Our LLM students receive one-on-one academic and career counseling and choose courses based on their personal and professional interests. In addition, our LLM students may also elect to specialize in one of the following eight areas, receiving both an LLM degree and a Certificate of Specialization upon graduation:.
Students may also choose to complete a Practice Training Track to develop basic lawyering skills in a field of interest to them, which must include at least one legal clinic of the Start-Up Legal Garage.
LLM students can choose to complete both the Practice Training Certificate and another specialization area. Our faculty prides itself on its teaching and influential scholarship.

Nationally, far fewer students are taking admissions tests and applying to law schools applications were down about 15 percent last year countrywide and down 7 percent at Hastings. That trend is projected to continue for the foreseeable future, while those who do attend often graduate with plenty of debt but few job opportunities.
However, there is still some good news for prospective LL. As such, it will not affect its LL. You agree that your email may be added to our LLM mailing list.
