In 1970, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Paul Egly established the law school.

[13] However, in November 2019, the College of Law’s board of trustees voted to convert the school from an ABA-accredited institution to one approved by the State Bar of California instead.

The move followed an investigation by the school’s faculty and administrators to evaluate the source of declining enrollment and avoid closure.

Students entering in the fall of 2020 and thereafter may not qualify to take a bar examination or be admitted to practice law in jurisdictions other than California.

[19][20] Additional programs for students include clinical externships and practicums in Family Law and Lawyering Skills.
