ABA profileGolden Gate University School of Law

Golden Gate University School of Law (informally referred to as GGU School of Law, GGU Law and Golden Gate Law) is the law school of Golden Gate University. Located in downtown San Francisco, California, Golden Gate Law is part of a California non-profit corporation and was fully accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA). On November 30, 2023, the law school announced that it would discontinue its J.D. program at the end of the academic year, following years of financial hardship and non-compliance with the ABA's two-year bar pass rate requirement. To allow students enrolled in 2023 to complete their studies, the school's ABA accreditation was extended to July 1, 2027, but not thereafter.
