If you live in California and would like to become a lawyer, then you’re probably deciding on which law school you would like to enroll in. Before you take your LSAT, you should definitely do some research regarding law schools and the programs they offer so that you can arrive at a decision. One of the law schools that should be on your list is the Thomas Jefferson School of Law.
The Thomas Jefferson School of Law, often called TJSL, is a law school located in San Diego, California that offers Juris Doctor degrees. It was established in 1969, became independent in 1995, and is now accredited by the American Bar Association. The school boasts of its faculty members, some of which are now authors of several books and have been hailed as scholars in their chosen fields of discipline. (1)
Thomas Jefferson School of Law has three academic centers, which are the Center for Global Legal Studies, Center for Law and Social Justice, and Center for Law, Technology, and Communications. Each strives to deal with specific fields of law, and all these centers provide the students with a wide variety of courses, faculty research, and speaker programs. Thomas Jefferson School of Law also offers its students ten different concentration areas. (2)
Thomas Jefferson School of Law offers its students the choice of studying full-time or part-time. The school holds both day and night classes, with night classes especially for part-time students. Full-time students are expected to finish their degree in three years, whereas part-time students are expected to finish theirs in four. Aside from the usual classes, Thomas Jefferson School of Law also offers its students with extracurricular programs such as clinical education programs, competition teams, and law reviews. All these are meant to complement and enhance the school’s academic program and provide satisfaction to participating students. (3)
The school also provides some of its financially-challenged students with scholarships. Those who are academic achievers may be offered scholarships as well. For those who aren’t eligible for the scholarships offered by the school, they can take the opportunity of getting other types of financial assistance or apply for student employment. (4)
