Glendale University College of Law (GUCL) is a private, for-profit law school in Glendale, California. Graduates are qualified to sit the California State Bar, but because the school is not accredited by the American Bar Association, they are not generally eligible to take the bar or practice outside of California. Of the fourteen GUCL graduates who took the California Bar Exam for the first time in July 2023, three passed, for a 21% passage rate.[3]

History

GUCL was founded by Seymour Greitzer and Julius Alpheus Leetham in 1967 as the Glendale College of Law. Although it is not a university, the institution renamed itself Glendale University College of Law in 1975.

The two founders believed that ABA law school accreditation standards discouraged the evening study of law.[4] As a result, GUCL does not meet the requirements for ABA approval.[5]

GUCL has been located in a two story brick building since 1970. The building was constructed in 1941 by Los Angeles County for use by the Health Department and as a County Courthouse.

Academics and publications

GUCL confers undergraduate (BS in Law) and graduate (Juris Doctor) degrees in law. GUCL publishes the Glendale Law Review, a scholarly journal that is indexed in the Index of Legal Periodicals.[6]
