Excellence in the law depends on the strength of its practitioners. Those lawyers who dedicate themselves to the application of legal theories in everyday situations will evolve as the leaders in jurisprudence. At Pacific West College of Law we are committed to the development of practitioners who are well founded in legal theories and skilled in their application. Our motto, "Excellence through Knowledge and Achievement Through Commitment," is reflected in our curriculum and faculty. Our unique curriculum incorporates supportive courses in the civil and criminal areas to ensure professional competence in our graduates. Upper-class students are allowed to select an area of concentration. The curriculum allows us to provide each student with individual counseling to develop a course schedule that is tailored to the individual student's needs. Our faculty members are experienced attorneys who teach courses in their own areas of expertise. This allows us to teach practical applications of the law in each subject area. Our system of faculty selection and curriculum presentation gives our students a superior legal education. We invite you to join us at Pacific West College of Law for an exciting adventure in learning.

Sincerely, Kevin O'Connell
Dean and Executive Director
