Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Infobox law school California Southern Law School (CSLS) was a private part-time evening law school in Riverside, California. It admitted its last entering class in Fall 2016 and closed after the Spring 2020 semester.[1][2] It is registered with the California State Bar Committee of Bar Examiners (CBE), but is not accredited by the CBE or approved by the American Bar Association. As a registered law school, CSLS graduates may take the California Bar Examination and upon passing the Bar, they are authorized to practice law in California.[3]

History

California Southern Law School was founded in 1971 as Citrus Belt Law School[nb 1] by California Superior Court Judge Elwood M. Rich[4] to serve students in the Inland Empire of Southern California.[5][nb 2] It took its original name from the Citrus Belt League of the Inland Empire, but changed the name in 1990 to California Southern Law School.[6]

California State Bar CBE registration

California Southern Law School is registered with the Committee of Bar Examiners[7] of The State Bar of California (CBE), which authorizes CSLS to operate and to grant the Juris Doctor (J.D.) law degree. CSLS is not approved by the American Bar Association[8] or accredited by the CBE. As a registered "unaccredited" law school, CSLS students must take and pass the First-Year Law Students' Examination (commonly referred to as the "Baby Bar") administered by the CBE.[9] Upon successful passing of the "Baby Bar" those students may continue with their law studies to obtain their J.D. degree.[10]

Facilities

California Southern Law School maintained its facilities in stand-alone buildings in the Magnolia Center Neighborhood[11] of Riverside, California. Facilities include offices, classrooms and a trial practice courtroom. Legal research and Writing classes are held at the Victor Miceli Riverside County Law Library[12] in Downtown[13] Riverside.

Academics

Pre-Legal Education requirements

CSLS admits students meeting the Pre-Legal Education requirements set forth by the Committee of Bar Examiners and does not require the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).[14] The CBE requires prospective law students to complete a minimum of two years of approved college work or its equivalent before entering law school.[15] This requirement is generally met by receiving an Associate of Arts (AA) degree, Associate of Science (AS) degree or by having completed at least 60 semester (90 quarter) units of college work applicable to a Bachelor's degree at a regionally accredited or approved school recognized by the CBE, with an average grade at least equal to that required for graduation. As allowed by the CBE, prospective CSLS students can satisfy this requirement by taking certain College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests.[16][nb 3]

Law study

As required by the Committee of Bar Examiners,[17] California Southern Law School offers a four-year law curriculum. The CSLS program covers all bar examination subjects likely to be tested by the CBE.[18][19] All classes are held on weekday evenings which allows students to pursue a legal education and maintain full-time employment.[20]
