Newly Admitted Students

On behalf of myself and my fellow students, welcome to Santa Clara Law! I hope you are excited and looking forward to the upcoming school year.

At Santa Clara Law, we promote a well-rounded, inclusive educational experience and encourage openness within our diverse student body. Many of our students find this by joining one or more of the over 35 student organizations on our campus. These organizations give students the opportunity to become involved outside of the classroom while networking with fellow students, alumni, and legal practitioners.

If you have further questions about anything on this site, feel free to contact the Law Admissions Staff or the 2011-2012 SBA Board. We are all happy to answer your questions and better facilitate your transition into law school.

—Christian G. Cornejo, Class of 2012, Student Bar Association President
