At USF, our goal is to educate students to be effective lawyers with a social conscience, high ethical standards and a global perspective. We emphasize professional skills and quality classroom teaching. Our students learn not only how lawyers think, they also practice doing what is required of lawyers to help clients solve problems and resolve conflicts. Studying law at USF offers the beauty, diversity, culture, recreation and climate of San Francisco. It also offers exceptional learning, practice and service opportunities for students.
