University of the Pacific Reviews of Doctorates in Law

"It's a small close knit school. The school tries to balance education and social activities. The school has clinics students can join for more practical experience. Overall decent school, but it is a private school, so very expensive."

"McGeorge is very regionally focused on Sacramento, which is great for people who want to work in the capital or the Sacramento region. This focus is not so great for people who want to connections with the Bay Area or So Cal. The professors are excellent, kind, and accessible. They make a lot of time for their students and will go to great lengths to make their students successful. It's not a very high-ranking school, but I predict the school's rank will rise in the next few years."

"Law school is extremely difficult and my graduate program does a great job of challenging students and keeping them motivated to continue their education. The faculty is amazing and helpful during office hours."

"The school is a great place to learn, the professors and faculty make you feel very welcome from your first day on campus. The professors are all very knowledgable and helpful. The surrounding area is not a great neighborhood but I always feel safe on campus."

"I just completed my first year at Pacific, McGeorge School of Law, and it was the best experience of my life. It was a lot of work, but that was to be expected. The faculty are amazing. They are all very knowledgeable about the subject they are teaching, and they are all approachable and willing to help if there is ever a question. Office hours were my greatest resource in my first year. The university staff are very student oriented and focused on ensuring that the students have the resources necessary. Everyone on campus is friendly, and the campus itself is welcoming. There are so many student organizations that its incredibly easy to get involved and stay connected to the school. The alumni network is expansive; it seems like every time I say I go to McGeorge, someone says, "Oh, I went there!" or "I know someone that went there!" The only downside of this campus is that the neighborhood is not the safest. However, campus security is everywhere, and I have never had a problem."

"McGeorge is a great law school. The faculty is engaged and the students are friendly. The only downside is the price of a private legal education."
