Glendale University College of Law (GUCL) was a private, for-profit law school in Glendale, California. The school is accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the California State Bar.[3][4]

History

[edit]

GUCL was founded by Seymour Greitzer[5] and Julius Alpheus Leetham in 1967 as the Glendale College of Law.[6] The institution renamed itself Glendale University College of Law in 1975.

In July 2019, GUCL achieved a first-time pass rate of 64% exceeding ten ABA-accredited law schools in California.[7] In October 2020, the first-time pass rate was at 62%.[8]

GUCL was 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

[edit]

GUCL conferred undergraduate (BS in Law) and graduate (Juris Doctor) degrees in law. GUCL published the Glendale Law Review, a scholarly journal that is indexed in the Index of Legal Periodicals.[9]
