About Whittier Law School
- Whittier Law School Office of Admissions
- Whittier Law School was founded in 1966 as Beverly Law School. In 1975, the Law School became part of Whittier College, established by Quakers in 1887. The Law School is located in Costa Mesa, Orange County. Orange County, ranked among the top business centers in the United States, is home to over 10,000 lawyers, more lawyers than half the states in the nation. The Law School is 30 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, 100 miles north of San Diego, and minutes away from the local beach cities such as Huntington Beach and Newport Beach. Ideally situated, the Law School enjoys the vibrant economies produced within each area as well as within Orange County. The Whittier tradition stresses concern for individual student's intellectual and ethical development. This tradition is reflected in admission practices stressing diversity, a small student-to-faculty ratio, small elective classes, and individual student counseling and placement services.
