Commit to Excellence

We expect a lot from our students. We don’t settle for just getting by. Our commitment to excellence is at the center of who we are. This commitment goes beyond just those students with the most impressive academic numbers. At California Western, we know that an incoming student is more than just a set of test scores.

Find a Supportive Community

While we expect a lot from our students, we also understand that legal education is an active partnership between the school and the student. This is why we go to great lengths to first understand each student’s unique path, personality and goals, then help them establish a clear pathway to successfully fulfill their individual quest.
