At our conveniently located, beautiful lake view campus, we accept regular, special, and transfer students.

DONATIONS SECTION: As part of our ongoing efforts to make our law school a significant resource to the East Bay community, we are trying to engage those individuals or organizations who can help us fund certain aspects of our law school.
All law schools rely, at least in part, on donations as part of their annual budget. Because East Bay Law School is a relatively new institution, it cannot make use of an alumni association.
Thus, we need the help of the community in raising funds to help make the law school powerful in its mission to provide educational opportunities to the working communities of the bay area.
If you are interested in contributing, follow the process below.
