Southwestern Law School Diversity Day 2018

Diversity is at the heart of the Southwestern community. It’s not something we simply speak about; it’s something we live on a daily basis. Although Southwestern is one of the most racially diverse law schools in California, we realize diversity goes far beyond race and ethnicity. On this day, we celebrate how all of our experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds enrich the classroom, the legal profession, and the communities we serve.
 
At Southwestern Law School, you will see diversity in our faculty research and the classes we teach. You will see diversity in our programs of study: we have the longest standing 2-year JD program in the country (SCALE), and one of the only JD programs specifically designed to accommodate the needs of students with child- or elder-care responsibilities (PLEAS). Diversity runs through our alumni and the various fields of practice they’re enjoying. Lastly, you will see diversity in our student organizations and their accomplishments—we believe they are the heart of this school.
