Southwestern Law School

Southwestern Law School is a private law school in Los Angeles, California, that enrolled a first-year class of 459 students (383 full-time, 76 part-time) in Fall 2025 from 3,584 completed applications, with a median LSAT of 157 and a median undergraduate GPA of 3.51. It is ranked #161 (tie) of 194 in the 2026 U.S. News rankings — #34 of 78 among part-time programs — and it is best known for its home in the restored 1929 Art Deco landmark Bullocks Wilshire building, one of the most diverse faculties in the country (#21 for minority faculty), and the nation's most flexible J.D. structure: traditional, part-time evening, PLEAS part-time day, fully online, and the SCALE two-year accelerated program — the first of its kind at an ABA-approved school, founded 1974. The central decision issue for admitted applicants is that Southwestern pairs that flexibility, a large Los Angeles placement footprint, and twelve BigLaw hires in the Class of 2025 with the second-highest tuition in this tier ($65,686 full-time for 2026–27, $107,848 all-in), conditional scholarships cut for 48% of holders, a 12% first-year academic attrition rate, and first-time bar passage that still trails California's average by 12.8 points (64.9% vs. 77.8% on the 2024 basis), at a computed 2026–27 cost of attendance of $107,848.

Tuition and cost data are from the school's tuition and fees page and official 2026–27 cost-of-attendance tables; the U.S. News figures ($63,160/$42,124) correspond to the 2025–26 509 lines. Note that the U.S. News profile carries the footnote "[1] School declined to fill out the U.S. News statistical survey," which is why indebtedness, financial-aid contact, and population fields read "N/A" there. Darby Dickerson — formerly the inaugural dean of the University of Central Florida's college of graduate studies and, before that, at Texas Tech — joined Southwestern as its 12th President and Dean, and second female dean, in July 2021, succeeding Susan Westerberg Prager (2013–2021); the vice dean for academics and online education is Natalie Rodriguez.

Introduction

Southwestern.jpeg



Founded on November 25, 1911, as the Southwestern College of Law by John J. Schumacher — who intended the nonprofit institution to reach out to women and minorities — Southwestern is the second-oldest law school in Los Angeles. It received a university charter in 1913 after expanding into other disciplines, outlasted the Depression-era collapse that ended every other private Los Angeles law school of its generation, and moved in 1974 to its current campus on Westmoreland Avenue in the Wilshire Center district. In 1994 it acquired the adjacent Bullocks Wilshire building — the 1929 Art Deco department-store landmark on the National Register of Historic Places — and renovated it to house the Leigh H. Taylor Law Library (over 83,000 square feet and 470,000 volumes, the second-largest academic law library facility in California), the Julian Dixon Courtroom and Advocacy Center, classrooms, and student space; the 1989 Aerosmith video "Love in an Elevator" was filmed in what is now the law library. The Residences at 7th (opened 2013) provide 133 units of student housing. Total J.D. enrollment stood at 1,108 as of October 5, 2025 — one of the larger schools in California.

Southwestern's identity rests on three pillars: curricular flexibility unmatched in American legal education — the 1974-launched SCALE program was the first two-year J.D. at an ABA-approved school, and the school today runs traditional day, part-time evening, PLEAS part-time day (for students with care responsibilities), and a fully ABA-approved Online J.D., with identical tuition online and on campus; a diversity record built into the founding mission, with 30.8% minority faculty (#21 nationally), a student body of 59.2% women, and 150 students of color among the 290 degrees awarded in 2024–25; and an entertainment-and-legal-capital location in the Mid-Wilshire district, producing an alumni network that spans two Los Angeles mayors (Tom Bradley, Norris Poulson), Governor Jim Gibbons of Nevada, Senator Gordon Smith, Justice Stanley Mosk of the California Supreme Court, and entertainment-law figures from Marvin Mitchelson to Camille Vasquez.

Rankings and Reputation

Southwestern Law School is ranked #161 (tie) of 194 in the 2026 U.S. News & World Report law school rankings and #34 of 78 in the Part-time Law category (Wikipedia's #145 for 2024 and Spivey Consulting's predicted #145 for 2025–26 bracket the current edition; the historical movement is downward). Its reputation rests on flexibility, diversity, and Los Angeles placement rather than overall rank: the school's alumni network is dense in California government, the entertainment industry, and the county courthouse, and its clinical and advocacy infrastructure is among the larger in the state.

Overall ranking

U.S. News edition Southwestern rank
2026 161 (tie)
2024 145
2025 Not independently confirmed in the sources reviewed

The 2025 rank was not independently confirmed in the sources reviewed (the 2024 figure of #145 is from the school's Wikipedia article, and Spivey Consulting's 2025–26 prediction grouped Southwestern at #145). Applicants should treat the downward drift within this band as a warning about trajectory, though it is immaterial to the school's practical outcomes, which are driven by Los Angeles placement, flexibility, and bar results rather than rank position.

Specialty rankings

  • Part-time Law: #34 of 78 (2026)

No other current-edition U.S. News specialty ranks were confirmed in the sources reviewed. The school's entertainment-law, immigration-law, and trial-advocacy strengths are widely cited in its own materials but carry no confirmed current-edition numeric ranks.

Admissions: What It Takes to Get In

Entering class (Fall 2025)

Admissions metric Fall 2025
Completed applications 3,584
Offers of admission 1,307
Acceptance rate 36.47%
Enrollees from applicant pool 458
Total in first-year class 459 (383 full-time, 76 part-time)
Yield (enrollees / offers) 34.74%

Total J.D. enrollment stood at 1,108 as of October 5, 2025 (459 first-years, 355 second-years, 251 third-years, 43 fourth-years), with 9 transfer students in and 5 out. Students may begin studying law in June or August, and degrees are conferred in January, May, July, and December — the widest entry-and-conferral calendar in this series. First-year teaching runs through 42 sections (excluding Legal Research & Writing): five of 25–49 students, eight of 50–74, and 29 of 75–99.

LSAT and GPA

Statistic 25th percentile Median 75th percentile
LSAT 154 157 160
Undergraduate GPA 3.23 3.51 3.72

The full-time cohort reports LSAT 154/157/160 and GPA 3.25/3.51/3.73; the part-time cohort reports LSAT 155/158/160 and GPA 3.17/3.48/3.68. Whether the school accepts the GRE in addition to the LSAT was not stated in the 2025 509 report or the other sources reviewed and is therefore not confirmed here.

Interpreting the numbers

A 36.47% acceptance rate (ILRG selectivity rank: #101 of 196) with a 157/3.51 median places Southwestern in the moderately selective tier, and the decade-long improvement is the clearest signal in the data: since 2019 the acceptance rate has fallen from 46.1% to 36.5%, the median LSAT has risen from 153 to 157, and the median GPA from 3.22 to 3.51 (25th percentile 2.98 to 3.23) — per ILRG's comparison of ABA 509 disclosures, a credential climb that matches or exceeds most peers at this rank. The 34.74% yield reflects a large regional admit pool heavily cross-offered by UCLA, USC, and Loyola. Applicants at or above the medians are competitive; no LSAT or GPA guarantees admission.

Application timing

The application fee is $60 (both the full-time and part-time programs). The 2025 509 report lists an application deadline of April 1 — confirmed by the U.S. News profile — with the financial aid application deadline also April 1. Full-time students earn one Enrollment Term Unit per fall or spring semester (six are required to graduate), so early-graduation planning matters for tuition; the January Intersession carries no tuition charge.

Cost, Scholarships, and Debt

Tuition

Tuition for the 2026–27 academic year is flat-rate by program: $65,686 for the full-time J.D. ($32,843 per semester), $43,810 for the part-time J.D. ($21,905 per semester), and $92,272 for the SCALE two-year program ($23,068 per quarter across four quarters). The 2025–26 509 lines were $63,160 full-time and $42,124 part-time — the figures the U.S. News profile displays (ILRG ranks the $63,160 rate #128 of 275 distinct national tuition rates). The flat rate applies regardless of units taken, online tuition is identical to on-campus, and Summer 2026 is billed at $2,192 per unit (LL.M., visiting, and part-time students also at $2,192 per unit; the Summer Externship flat rate is $1,000; the January Intersession is free). SCALE students attend a required summer (charged for the first four units, $8,768, bringing SCALE II to $101,040 all-in), and the LL.M. runs $2,192 per unit. Tuition has risen 17% since 2019 ($53,966 to $63,160), and no tuition-guarantee program exists (the 509's Tuition Guarantee Program field reads "N").

Cost of attendance

Expense 2026–27 (full-time J.D., off campus)
Tuition $65,686
Rent $16,380
Food $5,400
Health insurance $4,820
Transportation $4,212
Personal & miscellaneous $3,780
Utilities $2,970
Loan fees + Student Tuition Recovery Fee $2,600
Books & supplies $2,000
Estimated total $107,848

The part-time all-in total is $84,134 and the SCALE total $148,186 (with SCALE's rent at $21,840 and books at $3,200). The 509 report's living allowances — $36,413 on campus and $38,033 off campus — roughly match the school's rent-plus-food-plus-utilities components. Parking runs $530 per semester (day), $165 (evening), and $603–$420 for SCALE quarters; the mandatory, non-refundable STRF fees for 2026–27 have been waived ($0 across programs). The school offers a Budget Increase Application for students whose living expenses exceed the standard, and the Residences at 7th provide on-campus student housing.

Financial aid

Per the 2025 Standard 509 report, 72% of students (722 of 1,006) received grants, with a median grant of $29,166, a 25th percentile of $12,500, and a 75th percentile of $42,372 (full-time percentiles: $5,875 / $19,975 / $30,956). The distribution runs 37% receiving less than half tuition, 32% half-to-full tuition, 1% full tuition, and 2% more than full tuition — with the part-time cohort's coverage noticeably higher (83% receive grants; 7% more than full tuition). The awards are conditional: 295 students entered with conditional scholarships in 2024–25 and 142 (48.1%) had awards reduced or eliminated — following 108 of 222 (48.6%) in 2023–24 and 100 of 194 (51.5%) in 2022–23, meaning roughly half of each year's conditional recipients lose part of their award. The U.S. News financial-aid contact fields (director, phone, deadline) read "N/A" because the school declined the statistical survey; the 509's April 1 aid deadline is the standard used here.

Debt perspective

The average law-school debt and the proportion of graduates who borrowed were not reported in the sources reviewed — the U.S. News indebtedness table reads "N/A" because the school declined to fill out the statistical survey — and the loan repayment assistance program field reads "N/A" as well (no LRAP could be confirmed either way). What is verifiable: the full-time sticker of $65,686 (2026–27) is the second-highest in this profile tier (#128 of 275 national rates at the 2025–26 line), HeyFutureLawyer's ABA-data model computes a three-year net cost of roughly $241,000, and the conditional-scholarship cut rate near 50% means merit discounts shrink for about half of holders after the first year. Against that: twelve BigLaw hires, 29 business-and-industry placements, and a modeled salary of roughly $90,000–$100,000 (HeyFutureLawyer estimate, 68% reporting) for the Class of 2025. Applicants should model repayment against Los Angeles cost of living and the school's sub-par bar-passage record before borrowing at near-full price.

Employment Outcomes

Employment (Class of 2025)

Per the school's official ABA Employment Summary for 2025 graduates (status as of March 16, 2026), the class of 290 graduates produced an 87.6% employment rate: 254 of 290 were employed, including 246 in full-time positions (242 long-term).

Employment metric Class of 2025
Employment rate (10 months) 87.6% (254 of 290; U.S. News full-credit basis: 75.5%; ILRG's Class-of-2024 figure: 85.7%, #178 of 195)
School-funded positions 0

The detailed ABA categories are machine-readable in the summary: 233 graduates hold bar-required positions (228 full-time, long-term — 80.3% of the class), 18 hold J.D.-advantage positions, and 3 hold professional positions. Employers: law firms 165 (solo 3; 1–10 attorneys 64; 11–25: 41; 26–50: 24; 51–100: 16; 101–250: 13; 251–500: 4; 501+ (BigLaw): 12), business and industry 29, public interest 28, government 14, state and local clerkships 4, federal clerkships 1, education 1. Twenty-two graduates were unemployed and seeking (7.6%), 12 not seeking (4.1%), and 2 were status-unknown. The 75.5% U.S. News full-credit-outcomes figure (its most recent machine-readable vintage) reflects the methodological discount of J.D.-advantage, short-term, and part-time roles.

What these numbers mean

The raw 87.6% employment rate tracks the national Class of 2025 average of 87.7%, and the composition is genuinely Los Angeles: 80.3% of graduates hold bar-required jobs, 12 joined 501+ firms, and the public-interest (28) and business (29) pipelines are larger than most peers'. The weaknesses sit in the tail: 22 graduates unemployed and seeking (7.6%), a 1.0% federal-clerkship rate (#137 per ILRG's tabulation), and a bar-required-employment rank of #180 of 195 on the 2024 vintage — meaning a third of the employed class works in J.D.-advantage or short-term roles. The modeled salary of $89,688 (HeyFutureLawyer, 68% reporting) is serviceable against Los Angeles rents but not against a full-sticker loan load. This is a volume pipeline: large classes, broad placement, mid-tier ceiling.

Bar passage

Bar statistic 2025 graduates
First-time bar passage, July 2025 California bar 70.8% (187 of 264) — mid-tier among California ABA schools
First-time bar passage, all jurisdictions (school ABA report, 2025-grad cohort) 72.1% (LawHub); 64.9% (ILRG, 2024-administrations basis, −12.8 vs. California's 77.8%)
Ultimate bar passage (2-year) 88.7% (U.S. News profile)
Repeater rate, July 2025 California bar 21.3% (10 of 47) — low

The different figures reflect differing cohort and administration bases and are all genuine: on the July 2025 California administration alone, Southwestern's first-time takers passed at 70.8% — mid-tier among the state's ABA schools (above Golden Gate's 68.6% and Western State's 69.1%, below Loyola's 80.4% and every UC), with a repeater pass rate of just 21.3% (10 of 47) that is among the lowest in the state. On the all-jurisdiction 2024 basis, the school's 64.9% trailed California's 77.8% by 12.8 points (#174 of 196), a persistent gap since at least 2019 (52.3% vs. 58.3%, −6.0 — the gap has widened in absolute points even as the level improved). Ultimate two-year passage of 88.7% clears the ABA Standard 316 threshold of 75% comfortably. The trajectory is improving — 52.3% to 70.8% over six years — but the school remains a below-state-average performer.

Where graduates go

The Class of 2025's geography is overwhelmingly Californian: 243 of the 254 employed graduates work in California, with Pennsylvania (3) and Texas (2) the next-largest states. The Los Angeles footprint spans the county courthouse (District Attorneys Ira Reiner and Robert Philibosian among the alumni), City Hall (Mayor Tom Bradley), Sacramento (Assemblymember Julian Dixon, Treasurer Matt Fong), and the entertainment industry (Jean Casarez, Kevin A. Ross, Camille Vasquez, Shawn Holley), with business-and-industry placement (29) among the largest in this tier. The class produced no school-funded positions and minimal out-of-region placement.

Academics and Programs

The J.D. requires 87 credit hours on a semester (and quarter, for SCALE) calendar, with June and August entry and degrees conferred in January, May, July, and December.

Curriculum and special strengths

Southwestern offers the traditional three-year J.D., the four-year part-time evening J.D., the PLEAS four-year part-time day J.D. (for students with child or elder-care responsibilities), the fully online J.D. (the first ABA-approved online program, full-time), and the SCALE two-year accelerated J.D., alongside an individualized LL.M., joint degrees with Claremont Graduate University's Drucker School (J.D./M.B.A., J.D./M.A.M., J.D./E.M.B.A.), and the CSUN 3+3 B.A./J.D. (which includes a $10,000 Wildman/Schumacher scholarship renewable at a 2.7 GPA). U.S. News lists coursework in clinical training, dispute resolution, environmental law, health care law, intellectual property, international law, business/corporate law, constitutional law, contracts/commercial law, and criminal law. Study-abroad options include the North American Consortium (Canada/Mexico), The Hague, and a London summer program in international media and entertainment law. The journals are the Southwestern Law Review (the flagship quarterly), the Southwestern Journal of International Law, and the Journal of International Media & Entertainment Law (in association with the ABA Forum on Communications Law). Experiential capacity is among the largest in the country: 166 clinic seats (143 filled), 441 field placements, 1,161 simulation seats (972 filled), and 19 co-curricular offerings.

Clinics and experiential learning

Southwestern operates nine clinical programs and two practicum programs, spanning live-client representation, field placements, and simulation work at the volumes noted above; the individual clinic names were not itemized in the sources reviewed this cycle and are therefore not listed here. The Julian Dixon Courtroom and Advocacy Center in the Bullocks Wilshire building anchors the trial-advocacy training.

Student Life and Location

Living in Los Angeles

Southwestern's campus sits at the edge of Koreatown in the Mid-Wilshire district — the 1929 Bullocks Wilshire landmark and the Westmoreland building a few blocks from Wilshire Boulevard's offices and a short ride from downtown's courts and firms. The Residences at 7th (133 units) provide on-campus housing; the school's rent budget ($16,380) and utilities line ($2,970) reflect Los Angeles's high cost of living, which the 509's $38,033 off-campus allowance matches. The trade-off is cost and competition: Los Angeles is the nation's largest county legal market but also its most crowded, and Southwestern's graduates compete with UCLA, USC, and Loyola for the same downtown placements — while the school's own bar-passage gap (−12.8 on the 2024 basis) sits under the same exam.

Student body

With a first-year class of 459 (1,108 total J.D. students), Southwestern is one of the larger schools in this tier; the student body is 59.2% women, 40.0% men, and 0.8% non-binary or other per ILRG's December 2025 tabulation, and the class that graduated in 2024–25 was 150 of 290 (51.7%) students of color — a founding-mission metric the school still leads on. The faculty comprises 70 full-time members (40 women; 23 people of color — 30.8%, #21 nationally), 115 non-full-time members, and 6 librarians; the student-faculty ratio is 8.7:1 per U.S. News, though ILRG computes 15.8:1 from ABA data (tied #158 — the methodologies differ). The formats create distinct cohorts — traditional day, evening, PLEAS day, online, and SCALE — rather than one residential culture, with the evening and online students anchoring the working-professional majority. A caution flag: 51 students (12.0%) left the first-year class for academic reasons in 2024–25, the highest attrition figure in this series of profiles.

How Southwestern Compares

Choose Southwestern if

  • You need format flexibility — the only school in the country with a traditional J.D., a part-time evening J.D., a PLEAS part-time day J.D., a fully online J.D., and the SCALE two-year accelerated J.D., all at identical online/on-campus tuition.
  • You are targeting Los Angeles practice — especially entertainment law, public interest (28 placements), business (29), or the county courthouse, with 243 of 254 employed graduates working in California and an alumni network from Mayor Tom Bradley to Camille Vasquez.
  • You value diversity as a stated mission — 30.8% minority faculty (#21 nationally), 59.2% women in the student body, and 51.7% of the 2024–25 graduating class being students of color.

Consider alternatives if

  • Bar-passage risk is a dealbreaker — first-time passage has trailed California's average in every recent vintage (64.9% vs. 77.8% on the 2024 basis, −12.8; 70.8% on the July 2025 administration), and the 21.3% repeater pass rate is among the state's lowest.
  • Conditional-scholarship cuts or attrition worry you — 48% of conditional holders lost part of their award in 2024–25, and 12.0% of the first-year class left academically.
  • You want certainty on debt and LRAP — the school declined the U.S. News statistical survey, leaving indebtedness, borrowing, and repayment-program fields "N/A," at a $107,848 sticker with tuition up 17% since 2019.

The TLS Verdict

Southwestern Law is a volume school with a genuine niche: no other ABA-approved school runs traditional, evening, part-time day, online, and two-year accelerated J.D. formats at scale, and few can match its Los Angeles placement density or its diversity record (founding-mission legacy, #21 minority faculty). The Class of 2025's report card is mixed: 80.3% bar-required employment, twelve BigLaw hires, twenty-eight public-interest placements — but a 7.6% unemployment-seeking rate, a #180-of-195 bar-required rank on the 2024 vintage, first-time bar passage still 12.8 points under California's average, a 21.3% repeater pass rate, and a 12% first-year attrition rate. The financial picture is the heaviest in this tier: $107,848 all-in for 2026–27, conditional scholarships cut for half of holders, and no published debt or LRAP data because the school declined the U.S. News survey. For an applicant who needs a non-traditional format and wants to practice in Los Angeles — especially entertainment, public interest, or government — Southwestern is a defensible, flexible choice. For anyone else, the bar-exam line and the sticker line are both real.

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is it to get into Southwestern Law?

Moderately selective: for Fall 2025, Southwestern accepted 36.47% of applicants (1,307 offers from 3,584 completed applications), with 458 students enrolling from the applicant pool into a class of 459 — a 34.74% yield. The admit rate has fallen from 46.1% in 2019.

What LSAT score is competitive for Southwestern?

The median LSAT for the Fall 2025 entering class was 157, with a middle-50% range of 154 to 160 — up from a 153 median (150–155) in 2019. The school's GRE policy was not confirmed in the sources reviewed.

What GPA do Southwestern applicants typically have?

The median undergraduate GPA for the Fall 2025 entering class was 3.51, with a middle-50% range of 3.23 to 3.72 — up from a 3.22 median (2.98 25th percentile) in 2019.

Does Southwestern give scholarships?

Yes, but conditionally. Per the 2025 ABA 509 report, 72% of students received grants, with a median grant of $29,166 (25th–75th percentiles $12,500–$42,372). The awards are conditional: 48.1% of the 295 students entering with conditional scholarships in 2024–25 had awards reduced or eliminated.

What is Southwestern's bar passage rate?

On the July 2025 California bar, first-time takers passed at 70.8% (187 of 264); on the all-jurisdiction 2024 basis, 64.9% vs. California's 77.8% (−12.8). Ultimate (2-year) passage is 88.7% per U.S. News — comfortably above the ABA's 75% standard.

Is Southwestern good for BigLaw?

Modestly. Twelve of 290 Class of 2025 graduates joined firms of 501+ attorneys (4.1%); the pipeline runs to small and mid-sized Los Angeles firms, public interest (28), business (29), and government (14), with one federal clerkship.

Does Southwestern offer a part-time J.D.?

Yes — three ways. The part-time evening program is a four-year track ($43,810/yr for 2026–27, ranked #34 of 78), the PLEAS program is a four-year part-time day curriculum for students with care responsibilities, and the SCALE program compresses the J.D. into two years ($92,272 tuition).

What is Southwestern Law best known for?

It is best known for the Bullocks Wilshire building — the 1929 Art Deco landmark housing the Leigh H. Taylor Law Library and Julian Dixon Courtroom — for inventing the two-year J.D. (SCALE, 1974) and the first ABA-approved online J.D., its entertainment-law and public-interest placement in Los Angeles, its #21-ranked minority faculty, and alumni spanning Mayor Tom Bradley, Justice Stanley Mosk, Governor Jim Gibbons, Senator Gordon Smith, DA Marcia Clark, and attorneys Camille Vasquez and Shawn Holley.
